Has the AGA done some similar international referee education as the EGF? Getting volunteers without preparation might be difficult. Therefore, if the AGA (or America as a whole) has not done it so far, establishing referee education should help. Beyond that, the scope of education can vary. Are only rules or tournament rules used in North America taught or would an international referee be truely international by also readily knowing WMSG Rules or rules specific in Asian countries?

you may not use the word "difficult" because you have to save that for extream difficulty.
is it not your way of thinking?

does it mean that they have to be an excellent referee prior to refereeing?
OH! i guess no one is qualified to be a referee if that is the condition.

actually what you said above make some sense unlike your "excellent" argument in other thread.

The EGF strikes me as a terrible source/educator of referees

If you press the move button instead of the look button on an Ing clock by accident then you have passed ???

Magicwand, hold meta-discussion with yourself.

Javaness, if you want to discuss EGF referee quality for itself, the EGF forum seems appropriate.

Robert maybe a bit odd, but he is not weak. I have played him before (I know I am only 1k, but I could sort gauge his strength)

Magicwand, try not to insult people. Maybe you are right, maybe you can beat him, but as I said earlier :Peace and Love <333

Peace and love are beautiful things, but i'd still love to see a 7 game series between these two titans! ;-)

Duels are an improper method for treating social conflicts, as improper as pistol fights a few centuries ago.

For $@&# sake Robert, just go with the flow here. It's perfectly okay at times to NOT take yourself and those around you so seriously. Now's a good time... :roll:

So, can we make this offical? A Malkovich game between Robert and Magicwand? I would pay good money to watch this match.

I feel that Robert might be playing a running joke on us all pretending to be serious in silly situations. I bet he is laughing inside at all of us!
