And a great reason it is.

We try to overlap officials in freshman, junior varsity, and varsity. Try to get there by the beginning of the second period of the game before yours, and try to stay until at least halftime of the game after yours. It's for both emergency coverage, and for educational (observational) purposes.

It's encouraged, often times adhered to, many times not so much.
