My guess is it is "required" just like we are "encouraged" to do this. If you do not, then it is perceived that you are unsupportive of your association. That probably means you are called upon in emergencies to fill in where needed but otherwise will not be working much (not that this is ever explicitly stated...).

Well the problem with an association, "requiring" us to a scrimmage is very difficult in my area. Not all schools have scrimmages or could get officials to do them. We are just so independent here, it is kind of hard to make requirements like that.
