It is good that you ask questions and try to learn the game rules before stepping out on the field, in fact, keep asking because it makes veteran officials like myself think about what may have unfortunately become routine.

As for the level of game you work always look to the next level to determine what you need to do to reach that level. Personally, new officials who ask questions have all my support because they can be taught.

Best of luck to you.
