2008 End of Season...Referee Dinner Kick Off Dinner 2009
Another year down, and a new one has begun. We celebrated not only being referees...but also honored a few of our own whose efforts went above and beyond the expected in terms of miles run and days spent helping Region 14 put together a fun filled season.
Referees know how to party! Thanks to our resident photographer, Bill Yee, you can prove that you were at the dinner. Click on the thumbnails to see the photos.
Awards and Recognitions: It's a tradition.
The
Referee Quiz. How
did you do on the quiz? If you weren't sure of the answers (and...we weren't
sure either) , look
here. The answer was always "none of the above", but, not surprisingly,
everybody who took it passed. If you were one of the lucky one's to take the
quiz, then you have been automatically upgraded to a National 3 badge. Don't
let that go to your head. The National 3 badges means the next round is on
you...

The Iron Man award dates back to the beginning of Region 14 (give or take a few years). It is given to the referee who completes the most amount of games in the region. It's not easy to earn, but brings a sense of accomplishment and pride. This year's winner is Jack Hailwood with 42 games |
 |
The Bronze Man -- Most amount of games humanly possible in Upper Division: Greg Wintroub with 52 Upper Division Games |
 |
Super Man -- Most amount of games in both Upper Division Games and Lower Division: Ray Thompson 14 Upper Division and 37 Lower Divisions (including....U8!!!). (There were so many flashbulbs going off that Ray is blinking...) |
| no picture | Outstanding New Referee. James Lee with 12 games (sadly, James could not make the dinner. He showed up to referee on the first day of the new season and, in a private ceremony, received his award.) |
 |
Pro Referee Iron Man: Given to the youth referee who completes the most amount of games. Michael Hailwood (it must run in the family) 31 games. |
 |
Outstanding New Referee: Collin Marsaw, 26 games. |
And the final bill
arrives.."okay...who ordered the steak and lobster?"
