Number 1 of 60 or So

I took my reffing certification class this past weekend, and scored the highest on the test of everyone that took it. There were about 60 or so people, and I was the only person to miss just one question. That was exciting for me.

Overall, I didn't learn much from the class. Playing for 20 years helps you to get the rules down pretty well.

The only thing I learned that I hadn't known is that it is technically impossible to score on your own team from any direct kick. Any goal kick or direct kick that your team kicks directly in their own goal, is legally then just a corner kick for the other team, and not a goal that counts against you.

Other than that, the rules are all pretty straightforward.
