Show of hands, how many of us have nailed a ref on purpose?

[Manning26]

The only time I've done it is when the guy just wouldn't move. Sometimes they don't hear you so they require a little nudge. I was just curious how many of you guys are going to admit to it, 'cause I'm sure we've all done it at some point .

Permboy, when you're in a tourney and the ref is inadvertantly covering the guy you're on, you have to move him. I scream first, but you know how that is, there's 19 other people screamin' stuff too. I assure you, I don't do it for fun, also, there's the bad karma thing. I ref too, and I don't some jerk poundin' on me 'cause I can't shoot back. Permboy, take a big-anus beach towel on the field with you and use it as a reffing shield. They work great for that, and it helps the players identify you a bit better. Also Permboy, get out of the players way, and you probably won't get hit as much .

Permboy, I posted under my brothers ID on accident, so don't give Jermanboy any grief, 'cause that was me. By the way, I really didn't mean that I shot refs for fun, but I think you realized that . Were you reffing open session or a tournament today?

I've shot a few refs, mostly be accident, but in one case this guy was in my line, and stepped INTO it while looking at the guy I was shooting! So I followed what I thought was good ettiquette.

I yelled "REF! MOVE!" Nothing. "REF!! MOVE!!" Nothing. So I put a ball between his legs just under Mr. Happy, which was my arc to nail the guy. Ref got the hint fast, I got my guy. All happy happy.

And I didn't need to shoot the ref! Just make it clear I would have...

I played one tournament where the ref had a big netted shield. The guy kept standing between me and the center player on the other team. I yelled. Nothing. I past his head and he just held his shield up blocking about thirty balls going towards my opponent. It really pissed me off the guy wouldn't move. I guess he thought covering some guy meant more than letting me get a shot on someone.

I don't think that guy really knew what was going on anyway, he did that the whole weekend, remember? If that fella' hadn't have had that shield, he would've been more apt to move outta' there .

It was really only a days recball but it was an open field. How to explain it?
Best way is to say ww2 trenches is what it's like. They were all experienced players and it definitly came from my team i was flagging for.
