A game you never want to have

[Anchor]

Knew a couple of officials years ago that were evaluated during a girls game where the winning margin was about 70 points (and it wasn't that close). They absolutely got ripped for not hustling, inconsistent foul and violation calls, and several other things.

Don't know if anybody else has had that experience, but the soccer portion of our association adopted a policy that a score difference of x would not provide a sufficient backdrop for an "official" evaluation. Evaluators could still advise for a lop-sided game, but the evaluation could not count either in your favor or against you. Whether that is a good or bad idea is up for debate I suppose.
