I want to thank the referees and the referee community for all their hard work and for everything they do for CASL.  I have been involved with this league for over 15 years and I know that it takes a lot of hard work to get these games covered.  On behalf of the CASL Board, we want to thank you for your tireless effort and dedication to this great game that we all love.  I know that some of you referee games in several different leagues, so I have placed some of the CASL specific rules in the articles below this article.  Once again thanks for all that you do.  I also, want to send a special thanks to the CARA group and all of their assignors.
