Choosing the Referees for games
I was watching a Reserves game last nite that was between two top of the table teams. Both teams hadn't lost a game. So it was going to be a tough game. And with no ABL over Easter there was going to be at least a few starters that would be suiting up.
As the game went on it was very evident that the two referees were very much out of their depth. Now I know that one of them is a newly promoted ABL referee and the other is just starting off in the senior comp. So I am in no way bagging them.
My question is who decides what referee's are put on these games and at any stage do they look at where they are placed on the ladder???
I understand that this would be very time consuming to do across the board but maybe even if its just reserves games (guys and girls).
Thoughts????
