I moved the mandated 24 inches from the floor, where I was with 30 other people, to the first row of the bleachers.
They allow spectators on the floor during a match?
Official Angeblind J. was missing the "reach all the way around" start by Henes when he was on top so I said "Watch the hand, watch the hand". He promptly cautioned Henes and then told me to get into the stands. I moved the mandated 24 inches from the floor, where I was with 30 other people, to the first row of the bleachers. Just an official who wanted to make a spectacle of himself instead of just worrying about the action in the circle.
I can't imagine why we have such a tough time attracting new people to officiating!
