Give someone an ounce of power and they'll be sure to exercise every bit of it every possible chance they get. Take Dave, for example, who had a temporary shadow of power and decided that it was a good idea to make up new rules just so he could make an extra $5…
See, these soccer refs worked in a system where the person who was acting as the head ref marked whether or not the assistant ref was present at the game. The thing is, it's not like that was an official title; who was the assistant ref or center ref was determined purely based on who signed up for each role for that week. Really, it's pretty silly having a system where someone gets to mark whether or not someone else attended their job without any official organizational structure oversight.
When this 15-year-old was signed up as an assistant ref under Dave, an older 18-year-old center ref, Dave let that authority go straight to his head, and he made up a rule about being 30 minutes early so that he could mark the 15-year-old absent. The 15-year-old decided to use his own rule against him, a move that would eventually see Dave exposed and fired.
Don't be like Dave.
