Welcome.

I'm still a newbie here.

This place is great. It's highly informative, funny as all get out at times and thought provoking.

It can also be sarcastic, brusque and a bit hard to decipher. Bookmark this place - it will be a gold mine of information.

Really? You should have been around when Jurassic Referee was a frequent poster. He was right 99% of the time, but a lot of us often got a good spanking.

It went pretty good. I stayed fairly busy. Still on the job hunt, just enjoying the time off...

How did yours go?

Mine was busy, thanks.

At least it kept me out of trouble.

Kind of.

You came in here asking for answers only to the test. You didn't want to understand the answers - you just wanted the answers so you could get more games. You haven't convinced me that you're in this for the right reasons. And now you have the nerve to call people who won't give you the answers jerks. You're gonna do great here...good luck!

Wow...how about a chill pill?
What is it about that exam that gets this whole board so hostile every year? The questions and answers are readily available.

If someone chooses to use them to cheat...who are they hurting in the long run? Only themselves.

Is the answer sheet going to somehow fill their calendar with games and get them to the next level? Doubtful.

If you don't want to share the info...ignore the poster. Why waste the energy attacking and passing moral judgement?

What about the kids they are supposed to be officiating? Does your so called "moral judgment" trump the job we are supposed to be performing?

How about their partners? As we are all we've got! How uncomfortable does it feel to work with a partner that kicks them left & right due to the knowledge of the rules or should I say lack thereof...

If they're that bad at rules knowledge, they'll be exposed and wash out quickly. Maybe different where you are, but a score on an exam is only a small component of the process. Nobody gets on a court here without screening and on-court training and observation.

All rookies look lousy, so I don't know how much that helps. They're still going to be given an opportunity.

And if you think someone's not going to see that score and take an impression from it, you're sadly mistaken.

You know, in a way, giving people the answers gives them a fast track right out of officiating. Either way, who cares? Sooner or later the cream will rise.
