This past weekend was the worst weekend for me but not so much for my wallet. I reffed nine soccer games over the weekend for a tournament. I did two games Friday night while it was pouring down very cold rain the whole time I was there. I was supposed to have a one day shoot out softball tournament on Saturday, but then it got canceled because of all the rain. I would say that Sunday was probably my least favorite day of my entire weekend. I was at the soccer complex from 7:00am till 6:30pm. I was at the soccer complex for around 11 hours but only got paid for seven hours! I did three championship games and the first one took about an hour in over time to determine a champion. We played two five minute halves and then they were still tied. Next we had to do a penalty kick shot round and then they were still tied!! This was so rare to ever still have a tie at this point we, the referees, had to ask the field marshal what to do next. We had to do another PK shoot out and we FINALLY had a winner. If any more games after that one went into over time I was at the point where I would want to just plop down on the ground and start crying because I was so mentally and physically exhausted. I'm just happy it's all over.
