I don't have a title for this post

Front IPR at last night's scrimmage.  It went ok.  I need to not look at the track lines to determine 10'.  It's so hard, though, when THE LINES ARE RIGHT THERE!

Got to call a uniform violation on a skater who didn't have her numbers on her arm, that was exciting.

in other news

me: I took the referee rule test again last night, and failed it again, but I feel a lot more confident about it
my sister:  good lord
me: ?
my sister:  I don’t know, I didn’t realize it was like the bar
------------------
I only got seven wrong this time.  Some of my mistakes were really boneheaded, some I'd narrowed down to 50/50 and chose the wrong one (but realized the rationalization behind the correct choice as soon as I saw it) some were just a matter of "I really need to review this section of the rules a lot more closely".

So onward and upward then.

Game #29 under my belt

I've done so much jam reffing lately I forget what OPRing is like!

And is this where I can admit that I get very OH NO WHAT DID I DO WRONG when a team calls an official review, and how relieved I am when it turns out it has nothing to do with anything I did?
