>14 matches in a weekend
Are these full 90 minute matches? What organization is responsible for these matches that would allow this?

nah they are like 60 minute matches

Do not forget to refball the teams whose parents yell at you :)

usually there aren't many parents around at these tournaments. the kids are all 17-18 years old and travel from kinda far so they carpool.

its really quite nice

Do they even understand you in English or do football referees in the US have to speak Spanish, considering most people playing the sport in the US are Latinos (at least that's what Sup Forums told me)

People only slowly walk in divegrass though?

don't get killed OP, I've heard many stories about refs here getting their shit kicked in by angry parents

You don't run being a ref you stupid cunt. Especially in USSF, fuck off.

>he's a referee
kill ur self

17-18 and they don't play 90 min matches? Why?

I'll bet you're making bank. Where is this?

They're American

honestly i live in Calfornia, and everybody plays football now. My local sports park is filled with an even amount of Mexicans, Whites, and then a few GIGANIGGAS sprinkled in. Its honestly crazy to see how much its changed. They even removed a Baseball field to add a fourth Football pitch. Also a bunch of Futsal courts have opened up. Don't believe the memes that Soccer isn't growing in the USA.

Also the aforementioned GIGANIGGAS, are like you would expect in America, the most athletic guys on the pitch. Pretty exciting to watch.

Under 18s doing 60mins?
Wtf is that shit I was playing 90 mins at 13

Nah you weren't. 45 minute halves are for those in U17, U18, U19. U14 is 35 minute halves, nice try though

It is just a tournament, they try to fit in as many games as possible in the weekend to the games are usually 60-70 minute matches

During regular season the match lengths are standard

how much do you get paid?

speaking from experience its almost better if you cant speak the language. No one really needs to talk to you anyways, and if they do its only to bitch about shit. What the coaches/players have to say is irrelevant, and your calls should be obvious without saying anything

They are playing at least two matches a day, impossible to play a full 90 and still put a good product on the field

Are you an R8 or 7 OP? I was a ref for a little over 14 years, will probably recert this winter after 2 years off. Which region are you in?

I am a Grade 8, I've been a ref for like 6 years. I really have no interest in going up grades. I do not want to do men's amateur matches or start getting called to drive all over the state for whatever bullshit matches they have.

Grade 8 lets me go up to U19 class 1 and I can go out and get 5 games on a weekend day, that's all i care about.

I'm in California

Cool I have a few cousins who ref in Cali, and yeah moving up grades is bitch they expect a lot out of you since there are so few people above 8 in the U.S.

As an 8 I did exhibition college matches mostly always a treat to watch those idiots try to kill each other in pre-season

Yeah that's the thing, I mean I like refereeing and I'm pretty good at it and all but all I hear are horror stories about "high level" matches like that.

Like, guys needing police escorts from high school playoff games, or how every men's amateur match has at least one fight every game, and other bullshit like that.

I've never done anything past youth games, like U15 to U19 because I don't care to.

Depends on age group and skill level. Usually the games I do the assistant referee gets paid however much the half length is and the center gets $5 more than that. So I usually make $35-$50 a game

I did high school for a few years, the worst level considering the pay. You got C! mixed with C% guys and it just becomes a shitfest

C1.... C5*
