Last nights scrimmage was an intense time in the box. We had some situations occurr that were a bit confusing while in the midst of it, but our amazing NSO/Ref crew managed to sort it out quick and easy!
A few jammes were in a bit of a hurry thou.

Remember that all you girls reading this. Do not get up and leave until you get your "done!" Hurrying out a second early will give you another sour minute in the bin. And in this jammer situation that the link describes our girls had a tendency to get up and skate off before they got any word from the box crew. Most of these times it was because the other jammer took a while to get in the right seat on the bench, and before she is properly down and her timer starts you won't get your "done". So take that extra second or two and wait until you're properly done so you won't have to go straight back in!
We also had a 7.4.10 moment that got a bit messy due to a jam being called off due to an injury and confusing regarding it being the last jam and so on, but in the end it all got sorted out correctly!
I love it when scrimmages get hectic and you have to get your problemsolving-brain up and working quick!
It gives us valuable experience and now we're all so much wizer! Jay Derby! <3
It was also the scrimmage premiere for Krakel as a reff! He did a super good job (even when dealing with a player pileup right infront of his feet)! *proud*
