Will the Viking Cup be using three officials for all matches this year?


Have you heard something to that effect? I would seriously doubt it since there will be a huge demand for referees in the Greater Columbia area that weekend. In addition to the 51 matches at Spring Valley, the following events will be utilizing referees in the Midlands that weekend:

Cardinal Invitational Jamboree, Cardinal Newman
Gilbert Preseason Soccer Classic, Gilbert
Warrior Invitational, E. L. Wright Middle School
Lake Murray Challenge, Chapin, Irmo, Dutch Fork
Sandhills Soccer Classic, Ridge View/Blythewood

Are there enough officials in Columbia to provide two officials for all of these matches, not to mention three?
