But to explain, I believe it is written into the policy that we have to work with a certified official in order for coverage to apply. If we don't work with a certified official than I don't think we're covered in the case of an accident.

Now I don't have the policy in front of me, but I believe that's what it states.
I thought you said that you (the partner) would be held liable if you work with an official that is not licensed if something happened. My question is why would you be penalized or not covered if you were working with an individual that you did not know was licensed or not? You are not the assignor, so why would you get in more trouble when you do not decide who you are working with? I realize you say the assignor would not do that, but I am sure it is not impossible for someone to slip through the cracks. Not sure how you would know for sure as a fellow official unless the person showed you all their information (assuming that it is accurate) that they had a license. I just do not know how that is your responsibility considering you do not assign the game.

Peace
