some advice

In some parts of the country, sub varsity games
are solicited by officials. There definitely use
your business card.
Most places have assignors who do all the work.
There probably best to just continue to work hard.
Should a coach or AD ask you for a card, give him one,
but don't be the aggressor.
Regarding your observation by big names;
#1 arrive early (polished shoes, clean shirt)
#2 cooperate with your partner
#3 demonstrate sharp signals
#4 always work for the best angle
#5 allow the game to flow, but call the obvious
#6 be approachable, but don't take too much crap
#7 look like you enjoy being there (be relaxed-smile)
#8 maintain control of the game
#9 be fair and consistent
#10 exude confidence with voice and body language
Good luck, you will only have one chance
to make a first impression.
