I know every association and area of the country is different. But the biggest benefit of "forcing" everyone to work all levels is that it helps to avoid the clique factor, where there is a huge divide between the have's and the have-nots. Whare the have's are the big game only officials and the have-nots are the officials who want to be big game officials. I've worked in associations where that divide is pretty big and there tends to be a lot more dissention in the ranks than here in this association where you still have big game officials, but you might get to work with them and actually get to know them at a freshman game. People are less likely to form judgements, I think. I'm still new to this association so maybe I'm just still naive as well.
