I have a major decision to make this season. I am currently an umpire on the strongest crew in our association. I have also worked as a referee the last two years at the JV and JH level. I worked at referee the last varsity game last year. My assignor has asked me to referee a new crew this year with a collection of 2nd and 3rd year officials. I will go from working the best games on Friday night to working the last assigned game each week. At umpire, I am the 2nd rated umpire in the association thus better playoff assignments. As referee, I am behind three referee that have worked HS finals. What should I do? I relish the opportunity to lead a varsity crew but I wonder if I'm giving up my best opportunity to advance.
