I sometimes wish it was that easy in VA. About 3 years ago, the exam was estensively revised (some really screwy questions) and we had about 35 varsity officials fail the exam and therefore, could not officiate fall ball or be considered for district/regional/state assignments. In Virginia, we play girls A and AA ball in the fall (changing to winter ball in 2002) and the exam is given in August and again in December. I try to take it in August just in case! If you took the exam in December 2000 and wanted to do fall ball in August 2001, you had to take the exam in August. However, we sometimes might do a game or two before we get the test results. That's what happended when the 35 or so officials failed. They were notified that they had to turn back the games already scheduled and take the exam again in December -- lots of red faces.
