Newbie / Wannabe Mini-Rant on Freshman/JV Refs

[mutantducky]

it really does vary so much. I wish associations would have stricter rules on taking tests and making sure new refs get training but unfortunately there are time-constraints and a lack of available refs. I knew some refs who passed the test but clearly cheated or got the results from someone because they go out there miss some obvious rules violations. That being said, the majority of refs I work with know what they are doing and the games go smooth.
