This is very unfair to officials as a whole, but different areas do different things. The good old boy system is still alive and well most everywhere.

How is this system in Wisconsin the "good ole boy network?" I understand that the appearance can give that impression, but why is this any different if they give out games a year in advance? In the area we get games about a year in advance. Guess what, the assignments are given to the people the assignors want to give them to first. Then the rest of the assignments are given to who is available or who is next on the list. It really does not matter if the assignments are done a year in advance or 5 years in advance. I know in the Wisconsin system there has to be some changes or people move up to other levels and might you might still need to fill games that were previously contracted. Hell people change jobs and family situations change, I am sure there are a lot of openings 3 years down the road when availability will change.
