Two questions come to mind.
How much do ADs know about officiating? Could they rate an official on positioning or any of the other attributes that make a good on-field official? Does the official get feedback that will help him improve his performance?
This is 2004 and 2007 is three seasons away. What happens if the members of your crew change? What happens if the skills of an official degrade? How do you really know the crew you contracted for in 2004 can officiate the same quality game in 2007?
