I saw a guy this Christmas break who wasn't particularly fat, but he WAS slow, and extremely out of shape. But I know for a fact he got the game because he was requested by name. I also got a great game in that tourney by being requested by name. I choose to look at the really high caliber refs, and think of myself as being in their category, rather than at that one guy. In this field, politics do count, and that's just the way it is.
