http://www.askasoccerreferee.com/?p=3959 A terrific resource, one that I and others will surely miss. He says the site will be shutting down; I hope it will be archived in some fashion for reference.
I hear he's taken a position as a language arts teacher. J/k Honestly, Mr. Allen was/is a great asset. I hope he enjoys retirement.
Every question answered. Every one. I have spent hours and hours reading the site, and have posed a half dozen questions over the years, each of which was answered thoughtfully and accurately. Phenomenal resource- if any of the new refs haven't spent a good amount of time on that site, do so while you still can!
reply to my inquiry... Chris (webmaster) has agreed to let it stay up and to let me keep the address. He could always do with a donation to keep it there. J
I've heard a couple of referee websites are looking into acquiring the site and keeping it going. Anyone else heard anything about that?
What a great guy Jim is. Here I was, a new referee in BFE, determined to learn this craft, and he would send me personal emails answering my questions or explaining that he was waiting for the appropriate associate to answer them for me. I always felt very lucky to have a direct connection into the USSF bureaucracy.
