Not a big deal. But don't belittle those who do.

I did not belittle anyone. If you feel that way, so be it. But I know the league does not use "IHSA" timing rules. They would not get any official to work it if they did. Not because I say so, they would not pay enough.

I do admit there are a lot of people working these games that do so solely for the money (and some of these guys really suck, and don't care that they suck). However, there are also a good number who are young and trying to get better at their craft. And there are those who are already very good at their job that simply like being there for the kids and their local leagues.

What does that have to do with any post I made? I think you are a little sensitive about what I said. I am only talking about he timing rules and how they are applied to youth football (which is in my area) and why officials work and do not work these leagues. I do not know many officials that would use all the timing rules applied for $25 a game. Then work 4 games in a row that adhere to all those timing rules. It is not about the money. But I would also assume that many of those officials work a game on the other days of the week. That would be a major problem to find officials that could walk if that was the case.
