The ASAA then marks the exam and sends the mark and sheet back to each official. A passing grade for certification is 75%, but you can't work state tournaments without being certified.
As for the "Code of Ethics", the following is posted on the appropriate ASAA web page--- "Tests are NOT released prior to the NFHS release date". Of course, that doesn't apply to ol' W&S getting the test e-mailed to him. Naw.....

I'll let you know shortly when Alaska actually mails the test out(mid-September, Bush?  ) and when they expect it back. I've asked for that info. |
I do not live in Alaska, I do not care what Alaska says. That is something Alaska is going to have to deal with. For the record I have not given out the test and I live in Illinois and there is no such mandate. The test is made public to us online and this year it came out before my birthday in late September.
