Why we get paid the big bucks.

Breaking News: Connecticut Game Fees for 2021-22 Season: Scrimmage Fee: $150 (3 officials $50 each, 2 officials $75 each); Varsity Fee: $101.69; Sub Varsity Fee: $65.99 (Junior Varsity, Freshmen, Middle Schools).

I used the NFHS system for decades and it can work, and sometimes work quite well, otherwise the NFHS wouldn't have stuck with it for such a long time.

I wouldn't be upset if for some reason, IAABO would switch course and go back to the NFHS system, warts and all.

Neither two person boundary line system is any where near perfect.
