There is no set year you should wait in order to work the WH. I would not suggest that you work your first varsity game as a WH, but you might be on a sophomore crew where everyone is in their first year and you might be the only person that is capable to work the WH position. I think this comes down to you knowledge of the rules and the make up of your crew. One of the biggest misconceptions of being the Referee is that you have to know all the rules better than anyone. Your crews need to know the rules too and they need to know the enforcements of the penalties they call.
