Should I take charge?

[Jay R]

This weekend I got to do four games in a tournament. I am a rookie so I tend to let the vets take charge of pregame matters. My partner today never mentionned anything of substance before the game (no pre-game). Should have I brought up double whistles etc? Also we never had a captains meeting. I felt strange about this. Again, should a rookie have enough confidence to say "OK let's get the captains"? Any thoughts?
