1. Watch WWF videos and take good notes
2. Study the braket so you can help the team you'd rather play
3. Don't call any jars against friends, just enemies
4. Give rookies and amateurs a hard time
5. Encourage arguing and yelling and general confusion

The Fanatic read the post by Charles Mackintosh and it was DEAD-ON!
The Fanatic thought maybe he was being too hard on foos refs so he warmed
up the VCR, fired up the stereo sound and grabbed a stiff Run-and-Coke.

Tommy Vs. Scott
_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
OK, the Fanatic doesn't see too much wrong here...
The Fanatic rubs his eyes as he sees Tommy hugging ref Terry? Perhaps
they are having a secret affair...either way...the Fanatic is puzzled by
this pro level conduct.

Is that Tommy tugging on Terrys basebal cap and joking...punch in the
arm...tickle tickle....The Fanatic has never seen this at
Wimbleton...perhaps Agassi should employ these techniques.

The FFan decides to fast forward a little...Tommy continually badgerring
Scott and badgering ref...no calls...endless badgering and constant
crossing of the invisible player/ref line.

The Fanatic then thinks...hey...doesn't Terry play the winner of this
match...Scottie says "I know you too are splitting...I know you got a
deal"

WHAT KIND OF SPORT ALLOWS PLAYERS TO REF MATCHES WHERE THE REF HAS
INTEREST IN TE OUTCOME OF THE MATCH!!! The fanatic thinks this has got to
change as it puts unfair mental pressures on both players and refs

Jeep/Louis Vs. Robert/Tommy
_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
The Fanatic is amazed how this crafty Jeep Perrie can turn 1 time out
into 7 without other players or refs even noticing. Player constantly
badgering refs...refs needing help...players yelling....children
screaming...genocide.

REFS NEED TO SLAP PLAYERS WITH DISTRACTIONS FOR FARTING TOO LOUD...HAMMER
THESE FUCKERS WITH DISTRACTION CALLS THE FIRST TIME THEY EVEN TALK TO
YOU...THEN IF THEY EVEN LOOK AT YOU FUNNY....HAMMER EM WITH ANOTHER
TECHNICAL

The fanatic believes the players control the refs and that the refs do
not control the players...by calling everything a distraction and issuing
technicals...the refs can slap the cuffs on these trouble makers. The
Fanatic believes Jeep and Louis would of one that game if it weren't for
the reffing...Louis was taken out of his game from Jeeps crap and other
crap.

What Can Be Done
_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/
1. Pay 5 Pro Refs $200 each for the weekend
2. Do not let refs do a match that is a conflict of interest
3. Encourage refs to control the game and slap distraction-technicals on
players doubting their every decision

A ref is human, humans make mistakes, but I much rather have a confident
ref that makes wrong calls but sticks to his decision, than a ref that
makes better calls and backs down when badgered. A ref that makes bad
calls will make bad calls evenly on all teams and it all evens out in the
end.

The current refs are all trying hard...but I feel the players are given
far too much freedom and power and this is hurting the power and control
that refs have.

WE NEED TOUGH AND MEAN REFS (DRILL SEARGANTS) THAT DON'T TAKE SHIT AND
CONTROL THE GAME AND GET PAID GOOD CASH FOR THE WEEKEND AND GET FULLY
BACKED ON DECISIONS BY THE ESTABLISHMENT.
