Football must be the hardest, players are spread out all over the field.

I think motor racing, especially motorcycle racing.
The referee is the only one who calls fouls and the referee is way too far from most incidents and without
the referee seeing the incident, it never happened.

I would think Rugby would be the toughest, because of the difficult to know whether injuries were deliberately done as opposed to the consequences of mish-mashing bodies.

I have refereed football, basketball, and umpired baseball. The most difficult or pressure filled is baseball because you are on an island in making a call. Football and basketball are obviously faster games with more moving parts, but at least you are part of a crew that can cover your back.

Football is easy because there are so many officials on the field.
Hockey is most definitely the hardest to officiate:
1. It’s a very fast, action-filled game.
2. You can’t officiate it unless you are a good skater. The average referee skates about seven miles during a typical NHL game.

9. Unless you are a star player, in which case you can take four of five steps while driving to the basket. Even more if it can help you sell Traveling Air Jordan shoes.

Rugby: One referee to supervise 30 players in a high contact sport, and no one really knows the rules.
To: daniel1212
If only the refs knew that taking 3 full running steps to make an awesome dunk is not allowed.

Referee’d for a decade. HS and college.
Volleyball was the easiest.

Agreed, and 22 players on the field to referee at any given time.

Happy New Year to you, too.

Curling.
Those guys in sweaters have a no holds barred attitude and I wouldn’t want to try to contain their anger outbursts as a referee. No thank you.

Any women’s sport which has a genetic male participating as a woman. Being able to referee that and not lose your lunch takes balls.
