Do any of your associations have limitations set on how often one can attend the State Tournament?
I was just notified of the four local officials our association is sending to the Girls State Tournament.
Three of the four are also going two weeks later to work at the Boys State Tournament.
Most of these seem to be permanent fixtures that our association sends year after year after year. All of these individuals have gone to the State Tournament before... some of them many multiple times.
Of course they also get to do most of the preliminary (District) games deciding which teams go to the State Tournament.
Are they good officials? Yes. Heads and shoulders better than everyone else? Not even close. Yes I feel slighted - many in our association feel slighted.
I'm one of the President's of our association and I think many of our officials would like to see the wealth shared. Does anyone have recommendations that we could put in our By-Laws that would help us get tournament assignments distributed more equitably among our officials.
