It doesn't really have anything to do with number of officials that we have. If has to do with the number of them who procrasitnate and do not register in a timely manner.
Previously, the registration renewals went out in early May. The deadline for submitting registration was June 30. Officials were waiting to late July and Augst before registering. This was dragging out the process for the one person in the NCHSAA office who handles all those registrations. It was also creating problems for assignors who needed to book REGISTERED officials for scrimmages, which start the second weekend in August.
There's always been a $10 late fee for registering late. But I believe the suggestion came from the assignors, that the deadline was moved back to June 1, and that the registration card that also allows you to get in free to any game be withheld if you register late. This is the second year of this policy. I understand that there were very, very few late registrations this year.
