I'm out a Linesman and need one real bad and this guy impressed my LJ and BJ so much that the sub-varsity level that we requested him.

We sent 6 guys from the South on Saturday. Someone told me the North sent 60!

LJ,
I was there. There wasn't a total of sixty guys. Central; Jersey sent 9 and of those 4 were first year officials. Still waiting on the results but in the pass couple years CJ has more first year officials pass the test then advanced officials. The association made it a one year program a few years back. I think it needs to be changed back 2-3 years before being able to take the test.

I was just reading how the North Virginia FOA does it and they seem to have a great idea. Which is, 3 levels the official must work and score higher on the test as the level increases.
