soccer officiating

[Greyhound]

While we hve our abacuses out I will point out that while soccer has but 17 LAWS not rules, each one has additional items within them, particularly law 12.
Your point about the # of calls in BB is exactly what I am talking about. You call EVERY LITTLE CONTACT IN BB.That is easy.
Regarding out of bounds, try calling it from 40 yards away instead of 10 feet.
Higher level games are NOT always easy or hard. They can be easy when the teams are experienced and know what to expect, or they can be particularly hard when they are good at deception.
I dont do a little bit of both. I do ALOT of soccer. I have done 15 game weeks. All adult opens. If you dabble in soccer officiating you will probably be just another in the crowd. I wont settle for that..
