The last big event i played in i witnessed a player laying next to me plainly wipe a hit off his mask, and then the player next to him got hit in the hopper and simply decided to ignore me when i told him. After witness this within the FIRST 30minutes of the game i decided to sign up to be a ref in play.
I only ended up punching a card once, which was when i told a player he was out and he walked about 20ft away wiped off the hits and continued shooting. Would this player have wiped this if a uniformed ref was around, i highly doubt it. |
This goes hand in hand with the bit I posted about not enough refs. Experiance is good but in some cases like the statement above numbers win out. Just seeing a uniformed ref will prevent alot of this because they just don't do it when we are around.
