I have had a stache/goat for many years now, and it hasn't prevented me from calling big games or playoff FED ball, or Legion. That being said, in the past we've heard rumblings from the state that "X doesn't like facial hair, so if you have it, forget about him assigning you to a final." However, all that we ask our local association to do is to make sure they are trim and neat when they work - beard or no beard.
Full beards are discouraged, but not a deterent to get you assignments. I keep my goat short and neat, and it has never been a problem.
