Here in the pretty state of Missouri:
Part I and II are mandatory (with passing score)1st yr working NFHS, there after you must take Part II each year and atend a mandatory rules meeting that general takes 4 hours. You must also prove you attended by signing an attendance card in the pressence of a state brd member.
Unless you allow your membership to laspe you should never take Part I again.
The state will (as I understand it) request our Association to send umpires to state championship games. The Assco. will assign district and other local playoff games based on our ranking, availibility, performance during the season, and desire. It has some issue if you are overlooked, however, it is a good system.
As an aside: many umpires just want HS to end so we can move onto the Spring wood bat tournements. That is when summer starts!
