There is a stipulation in Nebraska that if there are no games remaining at that level then the next level up can be used, for example, if there are no remaining freshman games, then you can use reserves (if that is the next level your school offers) games if there are any remaining. If not, then you can go up more. I think that rule is in place, but I'm not 100 percent sure. I'm only an official, and all we have to do is eject, fill out report, submit to the NSAA, and go on about our business.

I believe this system is fair and equitable, because it prevents some players from having to sit out just one night, while others have to sit out for several nights, depending on the scheduling arrangements. I know it doesn't sound fair, but it's turned out to be equitable here in Nebraska, considering the limit on the number of varsity contests/dates that are allowed.
