IAABO is mostly a regional thing. Much of the Eastern part of the country as boards that are affiliated with IAABO and they have to be members to get games. Even in my area, you can join IAABO if you choose, but it does nothing for you as an official outside of what a local official's association cannot do. They have some nice training tools, but that is already accomplished by our state and the local associations. So you hear a lot about IAABO because many that are here are members and have to take their tests to officiate in their region of the country. My state only provided information from the NF, IAABO is like a foreign third-world country to me.
