ok so your solution is that players should suck up a sub-standard product they are paying for?
I think I'm saying we should encourage more people to ref, and part of that will be gaining experience. We have a chronic shortage, so we don't have the luxury of starting new level 1 refs as ARs to learn in that environment.
No CF ref is getting rich on dispersements. (I don't think you're suggesting that players should pay more so Refs can be paid more to attract more people to reffing )
