Instead of brushing up on my athletic knowledge (is there really any difference between an umpire and a referee?!?!?) for my science project a long long while ago, I decided to stick with the Victorian activity of croquet. (I would have done badminton, except all the pictures were of tennis moms and that was most unbecoming.)
It was really quite fun once I decided upon my sport, and I then I got to write the whole thing in Victorian speech, which inspired awe, and then I got to use Victorian pictures, which really were fantastic. I highly recommend searching "Victorian croquet" images and looking at all the pretty pictures I used. :)
