Not completely accurate, in that most officials in my area don't wear the state patch. I can assume everyone I work with is certified, since the state has ruled that any school who uses an uncertified official forfeits the contest. IOW, it's the schools responsibility; and if someone wants to sue me for an injury in one of my games, working with a certified partner won't bail me out.
