It rewards officials who attend clinics every year instead of just the minimum (one every three years).

The way it was explained to us at this meeting it would not be quite like that. At least that is way Dave said. I guess the board was uncomfortable to go that far. So somehow this will be used, I just was unclear how exactly it would be used.

Well, count me in the category of liking the idea as Bob posted it. If an official is serious about wanting to advance, they need to put in the time every year, not just sit back and say "I've done this for 20 years; it's my turn to do the state tournament now." The IHSA has already started down this path by having different clinics; a 4-hr. for those who just want to keep their license, and a 6-hr. for those who want to work post-season. This idea would take it a step further in allowing those who put in the effort every year to be rewarded a little more than those who do it every 3 years. Makes sense imo.
And, go Cubbies. (Sorry, Dan made me do it. It's true...it's true...)
