This I want to ask of the Michigan folks: Are the number of officials that work both seasons, as opposed to one of the season proportionally high or what? I'm still having a little trouble grasping the shortage issue here.

Speaking only for my association in Northern VA, it did not make much of an impact at all. Being in the DC area, we have a fair amount of military/government people and we do experience a lot of turnover. In my 12 years with the association, I have seen some of the officials (particularly military) come and go 2-3 times. As I mentioned earlier, a lot of our officials did not work "fall ball" before the change. I did work that season.
