Fortunately with our veteran reffing staff roaming around I guess Del couldnt get in too much trouble. Anyway Del jumped in feet first, manning a backpack with the refs play book and what I saw, he did a great job.

Lesson Learned : Normally when we plan our staffing for a scenario, we put our most experienced refs at the bases, zone the junior refs across the field for paint checks and safety, and try to have a mission ref or two be where the missions are - and this works - but not at Ben's games - And it took a little while to figure this out. At Ben's games you MUST take your most experienced refs and zone them in the hot spots cause everyone is a mission ref cause he's got mission going on like crazy (at least 4 at a time) - and you put your junior refs at the bases. Anyway, the whole reffing staff thanks the players for being understanding as we made the adjustments. Once we cut the field down some, and Grendel came out of his perch on the hill, things went silky smooth.

Ben - next time, we will be ready! - I know how to work your game - and you did a great job adjusting the playbook at dinner stand down.

Mike (Aerion) - next time, you are in the field bubba. Good work at the American base, but we needed you mobile. Next time, we will give you a big zone.

Grendel - excellent work - you are a true professional.

Del - well done. Next time, we will be ready for Ben, but you did a great job adjusting to what needed to be done.

Jeff (Protocol) - Thanks for your help bro. I know it was a bit boring out there, and I appreciate your sticking with it. Next time you are mobile.

Drewcif/Eric/Mylan/Justin/Benj/John-John : good work guys.
