That is how it was when my daughter played eight years ago. It doesn't sound like much has changed. There was an extremely overweight center referee that handed out yellow ref jerseys and badges from previous years to the high school age ARs. One dad overheard the CR tell the ARs to just raise the flag when the ball went over the line. I could not understand what was said because the instruction was in Spanish. It may be better this weekend since I saw this morning that one of the San Diego ref associations sent out a call for refs for Crown City. There are three tournaments in San Diego this weekend; Surf Cup youngers, Crown City girls and Tournament of Champions.
