Iow, if I work with an uninsured official, my insurance is void. Our policy specifically says that. Policies are different, Jeff. Just because your policy says certain things does not mean that all policies will say the same thing. Obviously, our insurance coverage is different than your's.

Well I do not work for one assignor or association. There is not just a list I or anyone can look at and guarantee everyone they work with is licensed. If we work with someone we know to not be licensed, we can contact the IHSA Office if we are working a HS game. If we are not working a HS game, there is no one to contact. As stated earlier, the IESA only requires one IHSA licensed at there game. If there was an insurance issue with that, I am sure that would not be in writing. But that policy seems more for "quality" purposes, not liability issues. If that was the case almost every assignment and official that works those games would be up for liability issues.

I cannot prevent another official from officiating a game. I can report them to the State or an assignor. But if someone shows up outside of the normal uniform, I cannot prevent them on my own from them finishing the game. I would have to bite the bullet and get through it.
Peace
