When the grass isn't green.....

So this last weekend, I was part of the refereeing crew for the Fall Sagebrush Tournament. No different than any other tournament I'd done before............except that when I walked out onto the field, it was completely white. The previous night it had showed which made the whole weekend way too cold.........My cleats and socks were completely soaked by my second game which made it very hard to concentrate........But thankfully by mid-day, all the snow had melted, so it was only cold, not wet. Sunday I was chosen to referee a championship game of U-12 Boys and it was a great game. Unfortunately, I had the wrong interpretation of the rules and disallowed a goal when it should have been counted..........I even asked my AR to make sure that the PK did not count and the AR agreed. It turned out after discussion with all the other refs, we were all under the same impression that I was. It was not until a more experienced ref came that he was able to clarify the rule and make that correction. The team that was affected by my decision could do nothing as the game was over.......and for that I apologize..........But everyone makes mistakes and now I know that I'll never make that call again.
