Ref involvement in a fight

[baldref]

This is all true and is assuming a worst case scenario of course.

I just can’t imagine having to sit there and watch one of my players go crazy or get thwomped and hope I never have to. But it could happen and it’s a tough one to try and prepare for both procedurally and mentally.

Luckily, it doesn’t happen very often. Although, I have a story of when it did happen and it was a low point in my experiences of refereeing

At least half of the older players are taller than me so I am not getting involved. You may scare them since few will be taller or bigger than you.
