You don't just repeatedly and blithely assign a guy and claim a shortage. You assign him LOWER, where he has a better chance to hone his craft, and insist he improve. Repeatedly assigning him to high-level games gives him no incentive (or venue) to improve.




Your point is valid. If there are other better-qualified referees in your area, who are getting assigned lower-level matches, you do need to point this out. Speak specifically with the assessor and the assigner. They have to put their best guys on the best matches......the players deserve it.


Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
