Club linesman???

[Just a Parent]

This is such a dumb rule...

I think it is dumber to have 2 whistles.

I've had experiences with both.

This past season my son had a game and they needed a linesman. During the first half, the linesman was from the other team, the second half from my team. I know the guy on my team wasn't a ref, just someone who was willing to do it.

The game got contentious and the refs ended up changing to a 2 man team.

All my kids HS games use a 2 man system, one on each side of the field. It really gets the parents rilled up when a ref calls a foul on the opposite end of the field.

I guess the constant is that whatever the number of refs there are, we'll still disagree with their calls.

One of the nice things about girls high school games is that the parents can relax and let the high school boys in the stands give the refs a hard time.
