The frustrating part is that the fix is so simple: Add a requirement that a ref must do x number of girls' varsity games to go to the girls' tournament, and make x a reasonable number such as 10 or 12. This would also spread the tourney eligibility out a little more among the men, and would get refs to the state tourney that know and appreciate the girls' game.

Michigan has that requirement ... written .

So.....
what makes it not work, as I think you're implying?
|
... A lack of enforcement of the 10 required girl's varsity games.
Although, in many cases, the working "unqualified" officials are "quality officials", the message sent by the State of Michigan is that the written rule is not important. It hurts and confuses a young official.
My recommendation: Make the rule go away, ... or enforce it.

Yes, I see. I would be for making the rule at the local association level, and we would know who met the requirements and who didn't, just from looking at schedules and things. Women in our group who could make the cut if the positions weren't taken by otherwise-qualified men, would be able to look at records and require enforcement.
