It appears that JRutledge missed the point of my posting. Belonging to IAABO is not about getting games.

I have to disagree with you Mark. There's absolutely nothing in Rut's post "about getting games." Perhaps you should read it again. I believe he's just trying to say that there's no IAABO presence in his area. In fact, he said it several times.
All kidding aside, it's no different in my area. The IAABO means absolutley nothing here. There is one assigner who books games at some of the local military installations. He bids on the leagues on a contract basis. He requires his officials to join the IAABO before he will book them. But he's also notorious for sending poorly trained officials to work adult games. He's also notorious for skimming a lot of the game fee money off the top. This guy isn't interested in training. He's just trying to make a buck and he's using the IAABO name to do it. People like that give the IAABO a bad name, when they are the only presence in the area.
