Refs at NE regionals?

[super__dan]

What's our situation with regard refs at NE regionals? We seemed to have a good job through the winter but I didn't see any on Sunday.

I didn't have any problems in any qualifiers or finals but some of the finals I saw some well dirty moves that IMHO needed penalties given out, the C or B in particular (I think). I also noted that in those cases, the guilty parties took people out and didn't wait, poor manners that can only be enforced with refs I think.

I don't mind volunteering for a heat and I'm sure there are other people that would/could too,

Agreed Dan.

we have started having ref's at the mid west regionals and it has seamed to help esp in qualifying when you are on a good run. What we do is that most of the F1's volenter to do a heat each.

Yeah.. This year in the Mid-West it was agreed that the F1 drivers would ref.

We each select a heat and then ref the same one each round. Then when it comes to finals, we split them up between us. Obviously the A final doesn't always a ref assigned, although we luckily had "H" this weekend.

This system is working so far with driver standards, although we need to crack down on the "fruity" language that comes from some of the drivers.

Dan / Northy...

I'd volunteer to do a heat... if someone would "shadow" me for a few races maybe to make sure I'm being fair and everything... a crash course in reffing!
