Every year since I became a soccer referee I say "well, I thought last year was bad for shortages, but this one is even worse".
Well, I thought the previous years were bad for soccer referee shortages in my neck of the woods, but this year is even worse. Multiple emails a day, including weekdays, from assignors begging people to take assignments. Multiple emails a week from assignors as far away as Iowa begging refs from anywhere to come ref tournaments. And then on the weekends a slew of emails, texts, and even phone calls asking for coverage for refs who call in sick or injured. It's pretty wild.
