At least at the high school level---
any officials association needs to have enough members
to enforce rules like no scrimmage-- no assignments !
Back in CNY--- a scrimmage the week before the regular
season was a "muster" and it was done gratis, although
the schools paid the association a set fee for officials.
I'm not sure about here in SW FL, but it seems that
such a rule is not in force.
In my mind, any official worth their salt would WANT
to work a scrimmage before the regular games.
BTW-- I'm in my 35th season (3rd here) and still
loving it !!
