I consider an experience official as someone that been working the varsity level and above for years. Just because someone is experienced at the varsity level, does not translate to other levels. For example I consider myself to be a very experience varsity official, but not very experienced at the college level. I work only a small percentage of college games every year (by choice) because I am committed to accomplishing some things at the HS level first. I guess just like what makes an attractive women, everyone has a different opinion to what features are needed to think someone is beautiful. I just know that when I have an opportunity look for partners, I usually like to work with people that have been around the block at a particular level. Most of the time I do not get that option, so I guess it really does not matter.

Peace
