In PA we take one closed book test to "certify" (75% passes). Once we are certified, we just send in our money each year to maintain that certification. As a result, the knowledge of many officials deteriorates over the years because nothing forces them to ever look at a rule book again. In my opinion, this is a bad practice. We are not associated with IAABO in PA to my knowledge.

There are IAABO Boards in PA but they are mostly college boards. The PIAA certifies the high school officials. I also agree that it is not very efficiently run only requiring the initial test. Because you and I both know taht there are people out there who never look at the book once they get that PIAA patch.
