3/29 UNC Chapel Hill B vs. UF B

I was appointed to this game after my Dan River v. Eno River game was cancelled due to lack of players.

Curtis Ethridge refereed the first game and stayed to watch me referee the B-side game. This game was trouble from the start for me - being watched by another ref - and both teams wearing blue! (One Light, One Navy) This was truly unfortunate for me as I continued to yell out BLUE ADVANTAGE! and the players kept asking me...who has advantage sir???? Well I tried to show that I was pointing to the team with advantage, but the players typically just listen to me when I say this, not look at me. At any rate, this rattled me and caused me to have a poor game all around - it really put me of my stride. I improved in the second half after having time to regroup - but still hesitated entirely too much in my officiating of the game.

I also continued my method of being in front of play in this game - I found myself exposed and obstructing on many occasions. I corrected this at half time per Curtis' instructions, and it has been corrected every since that discussion and discussion with my older brother Ben Whysall and Ivan Morton (both referees).
