I like the idea that no game is below a good official. I give a little bit of credence to the idea that switching levels confuses an official for a little bit - but not terribly. A good official can do a good job at any level.
My association seems to be working the other direction this year... no game seems to be above any official. My assigner/comissioner is giving our top games to officials that are brand new to the varsity ranks. My schedule was okay but this tactic of assigning veritable rookies to high level games is scary.
