The "crock-block" or "Crocket Curse" is a term used to describe horrific travel issues that fencing referees endure such as hours-long flight delays, flight cancellations, missed connections, or lost luggage.
It was lovingly named after referee Daniel Crocket who experiences more horrific travel issues than any other referee. Referees sharing flights with Crockett are often terrified that they will not make it to the tournament.
