Our teenage refs play on Friday nights, which is why we have the party after the final afternoon games on Saturday. Actually, the party starts relatively early (4:00) and goes to about 6:00. That way everyone can still go out on a Saturday night or, if you're my age, be in bed by 7:00 as usual.

The league pays for all the pizza, salads and soft drinks. A few of the guys order beer and they have to pay for it themselves. It costs the league around $125 - $150 (a relatively small amount when you consider the size of the league - about 700 players who pay from $95 to $110 in annual registration fees) but we spend time discussing the past season and making suggestions for next year. We've done this for quite a few years and it's really a lot of fun.
