Mortisdeum

I have been a ref for over a year and hear are a few tips.

• Try to stay near the action but not in the middle of it
• Learn the fields, Players will tend to do the same thing every game but once in a while they do some thing new
• Communicate with your other ref(s) if your the 2nd listen to where the head ref wants you.
• Communicate with the players : ie "Watch your fire, Dead players coming out" "Watch your fire, Ref coming threw"
• "Please" and "Thank you" go a long way ie:
  "Player, Please tone it down this is Beginners"
  "Thanks for putting your barrel plug in player"
  "Please check you pod pack player"
• When asked to do a paint check, don't be afraid to take a hit cause it will happen.
• On the field you are judge, jury, and executioner. But don't be a dick about it.
• Don't argue with players on the field ask them please to leave and if they still question your call talk to them after the game
