Hi,
I lost my original post so I'm going to re-write this briefly.
I haven't refereed in 2 years and haven't played in 1 year.
I'm getting back into refereeing this Saturday in a B-side / friendly match between my former D1 college team and another D1 college team.
I'm fairly knowledgeable on the laws as I've played for 10 years prior, I'm just asking for common things to look out for and basics to being a referee to keep the game running smoothly.
Things I'm not so good at are the laws in the try zone such as when it's a 22m dropout or a choice of a dropout or scrum to the defending team after dotting down a direct kick into the try zone, or when the ball is kicked directly into touch in goal. Also my pre-game chat with both teams has always been weak, not sure who to talk to, what to say and when is most optimal to do it (before / after the coin toss)?
Any other basic things to keep in mind as a referee would be very appreciated.
Thanks fine chaps!
