				<description>&#60;p&#62;From the CRU&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;All, &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;As you are probably aware, there is significant shortage of match officials in the Province. So much so, that on more than one weekend this season, there were not enough match officials to officiate all the games scheduled.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;One thing the CRU is undertaking to address this issue is arranging a Level 1 referee course to be held at the CCIAC clubhouse on June 26th (details below). The cost to attend the course is $100 per club. Clubs are permitted and encouraged to send as many people to the course as they can.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;We are asking Club’s to solicit their membership for people who would like to become match officials.  Ideally, the Referee Society is looking for people who want to become match officials and are willing to commit to refereeing a game or two a week. Realistically, the Referee Society is looking for people who are willing to referee the occasional game, whether it is a junior game (i.e. U13, U15, U17 or U19) or a lower division adult game, just to ease the burden on their referee resources.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;People who become match officials:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;·        Get paid for officiating&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;·        Have control over their schedule&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;If the CRU is unable to increase the match official numbers, the CRU and ERU are both considering having the Rugby Alberta Rules and Regulations changed to read:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;“The Referees Society will endeavour at all times to provide match officials for each game. In the event that an occasion arises that the Referees&#38;#39; Society is unable to provide a match official for any specific scheduled match, it shall be the responsibility of the home team to provide a certified match official. The failure of the home team to provide a certified match official, for the specific game in question, will result in the home team having to default such match.”&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Changing the rules and regulations is not an ideal situation, but if you and your club members wish to continue to play rugby and the CRU is unable to voluntarily increase the number of certified match officials, the CRU will have no other option but to implement the aforementioned rule before the end of the current season.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The Level 1 referee course details:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Location: Irish Clubhouse: 4334 -18th Street NE MAP&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Date: Sunday June 26th&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Time: 8:30 am to 5:00 pm&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Lunch: bring your own, if we work a bit over lunch we can maybe finish early.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Contact Person: Andrew Petti - &#60;a href=&#34;mailto:andrew@chemies.com&#34;&#62;andrew@chemies.com&#60;/a&#62; &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;What to bring:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;pen &#38;amp; paper&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Comfortable clothes as we may be outside for a bit (weather depending) and possibly on the floor throughout the day&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Course manual - to be distributed to those registered at a future date

				<description>&#60;p&#62;Move to Alberta for a couple of years and then get on a connector to Victoria.  Unrugbist, just because you have a drivers license doesn&#38;#39;t mean that you know how to drive the bus.  Just ask TA.

				<description>&#60;p&#62;If the &#38;#39;degree&#38;#39; you have taken is iRB accredited they you will be able qualified to coach here too. It all depends on the iRB level you have attained already and what coaching position you are after. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;To give you an idea, take a look at this link to the Rugby Canada web page. &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.esportsdesk.com/leagues/custom_page.cfm?clientid=3817&#38;amp;leagueid=0&#38;amp;pageid=4426&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://www.esportsdesk.com/leagues/custom_page.cfm?clientid=3817&#38;amp;leagueid=0&#38;amp;pageid=4426&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;You should be able to work back from there to know what would be required for provincial or club teams here.

				<description>&#60;p&#62;typically you can sign up for a course from your local rugby union. Most of the provincial unions will run an &#38;#39;introduction to competition&#38;#39; course. That will make you &#38;#39;trained&#38;#39; to be a rugby coach after which you&#38;#39;ll need someone come and watch you execute a practice to become certified.

				<description>&#60;p&#62;Recognized as one of the finest Yoga retreats in the world, sivanandabahamas is dedicated to promoting the authentic spiritual tradition of Yoga, in an environment normally associated with an exclusive star hotel.  We endeavour to embody the spiritual tradition of Athithi devo Bhava (serving the Guest as an embodiment of the Divine) and the staff at sivanandabahamas are trying to practice all facets of Yoga in their daily lives. At sivanandabahamas, you get a unique insight into Yoga, irrespective of whether you are a beginner or have practiced for many years.    &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;sivanandabahamas is situated in bahamas where the emphasis is to live an ashram style life (daily yoga, meditation sessions, chanting classes, organic vegetarian food, no alcohol, community service, farming etc.) in private, serene and &#38;quot;simply&#38;quot; luxurious accommodation and facilities.  In a typical Yoga Retreat, guests practice different facets of Yoga - for physical strength, balance and flexibility, for physiological &#38;amp; therapeutic benefits and if they are interested, for pursuing a spiritual path through various types of meditation.&#60;br /&#62;

				<description>&#60;p&#62;Wayne Maki got charged for a high stick against Ted Green for a high stick to an unhelmeted head in the early seventies. I can`t recall if he was convicted or not. Green suffered a fractured scull and brain damage.

				<description>&#60;p&#62;Agreed.  First time I remember seeing it is in an NHL game years ago between the Leafs and Flyers.  I think one of the Flyers was charged with assault...Then of course you had Marty McSorley and Donald Brashear.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;It means when tragic incidents like this happen all parties will need to have their facts straight.&#60;/p&#62;

				<description>&#60;p&#62;IMHO it is the first time that a criminal conviction has happened in a sport event. So the level implications of actions of the players has turned.  Thus the effect of one players action can turn out to be a criminal act. The ref is there to witness it and speak out against in a court of law.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;It might has always been there, but the Canadian court system is starting to be more noticeable on the playing grounds.

&#60;p&#62;I've never carried a pencil in my sock.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;My legs are too short and the tip gets stuck in my cleats.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Also...full length mirrors for me never come close enough to the floor.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;You're still a pompous windgag...and woefully wrong...and I still feel better... :-)&#60;/p&#62;

				<description>&#60;p&#62;Well Trevor it has been fun getting you all wound up. Glad I have provided you with some form of relieve.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The joke is on you Bouyho, sorry. Afteral you are a perfect referee with his nice neat jersey, pressed shorts and the socks pulled up, with them at the exact same height and your Blaster wrapped on a bleached lanyard around your left wrist, pencil just protruding just enough above the top of your right sock. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I believe the thing that would upset the perfect ref before taking the field would not having a full length mirror in his dressing room.

				<description>&#60;p&#62;Thanks for the kudos winger, but I don't think I know the toothless one. I did have a few wobbly pops at the Wanderers clubhouse in Ajax after reffing an intersquad game and the coach mentioned he got an e-mail from you. Any chance of you making it back to Ajax in July for the 60th.

				<description>&#60;p&#62;Toothless...&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Have you been hanging out with Harry at the local saloon?&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I may be cyberspace, you are lost in space.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;There are/were two sets of laws, the global ones useed for internationals and the trial ELV's being used in the S14 competition.  The difference in the two was the reduction of most tackle offences to a FK.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The clarification from the IRB actually had squat to do with the ELVs.  It had more to do with this question...&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;&#34;Do the Richie McCaws and the George Smiths of the world have to let go of the ball once the ruck has formed ot can they go on contesting for the ball&#34;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Assuming of course that they got there legally.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The answer is now... No they don't.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Simple.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Don't make it complicated.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;And by the way if I feel like writing a post on the laws in the appropriate section, I will.  Especially if it bugs the hell out of you.  Nothing I love better than winding up a pompous windbag, it gives me a sense of well being and peace, knowing that I have contributed to making an overbearing bully go red in the face.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;There now I feel better...&#60;/p&#62;

				<description>&#60;p&#62;Toothlesstiger here again Mr. Winger, you may well like many referees out weigh me in certificates and the number of the games that you have been responsible for as a game official, however, not all who are on the field as an official are the best equipped to do the job but none the less they should &#38;#38; has to be granted respect especially on the field with their whistle in hand.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Mr Winger you are now playing of the field of cyberspace here and in my opinion as in many others around the World do not see the Laws Committee of the iRB and the referees have &#34;managed&#34; the current laws covering this aspect of the Game.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The current laws seem to beyond most referees, and that is including all of this plethora of T.V broadcasts not just the local patch, abilities to interpret what they see before them at such a break down while assessing the situation and rendering their decisions.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;On your feet and its many current variations cannot and should not be interpreted as we currently see. It is an area of mayhem &#38;#38; a physical shambles leading to stomping and recently Quinlan's &#34; eye gouging&#34;.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;As I mentioned in my earlier piece, I did miscall a maul being between two player, however I stand by the rest of my post on this matter. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Anything in the way being proposed has to better than the current &#34;dogs breakfast&#34; that constantly leads to atrocious rugby and it subsequently penalty kicking competition and not imaginative open, fast moving rugby that you would want to pay your buck at the gate to enjoy. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I was never coached nor encouraged and I do not see school coaches coach to entrap the opposition into giving penalties away. Is defencive rugby come to this?

				<description>&#60;p&#62;To me it is crazy that they are trialing 'experimental' variations on a global basis and we have got to a point where different unions / regions are effectively playing different sets of rules. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;No one can tell me that the extended periods of kicking back and forth is in any way an improvement on the previous 'boring' rugby; mauls and all.

				<description>&#60;p&#62;Yep, although it would start out as a ruck if the ball was still on the deck.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The interesting one NEXT year will be players not being allowed to collapse the maul, now that they've had a season of doing the opposite...&#60;/p&#62;

				<description>&#60;p&#62;and the ruck would then turn into a maul, if the allowed player who was touching the ball legally before the ruck formed picks it up?

				<description>&#60;p&#62;Toothless,&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Try refereeing one day...&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The ball can be touching a players hands and still be on the ground.  If it happens once it happens a hundred times ina agme.  I suggest you watch any game anywhere and prove me wrong.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;And by the way it's a ruck not a maul unless the ball is off the deck, and all the players are on their feet.  A maul also requires at least 3 players not 2, and 1 of the three has to be from the other team...&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The IRB has simply stated that a if you are contesting for the ball priro to the ruck and you are on you feet, and got there legally, you can keep your hands on the ball even after the ruck has formed...&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Sorry if I thought that was obvious...&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Next time I'll use pictures for you.&#60;/p&#62;
