| You know your in trouble when......... You know your in trouble when....
People give your opponent a standing "O" when he/she enters the room
Your opponent has coorporate sponsors patches all over their gear bag
you find out only 2 on 10 weapons your club quartermaster packed for a tournament is working and there's 3 of you there.  |

| When the opponent brings in his own theme music to JO's. Someone actually did this, walked in carrying a boombox playing back in black by ac/dc. It was sooooo boss.

| Your opponent comes in casually and rolls out an entire armoury of weapons... briefly browse through and settles for the french grip after checking your height. |

If it is a qualifier, get someone who is less qualified to ref, not the coach of your opponent. Or ya know, you could just one light the whole way to 15.
