And I think we are forgetting - assignors give out the games. They don't write the rules, they don't write the mechanics, and they certainly shouldn't influence who gets what games based on the ref's philosophy vs. their own. They should assign games based on ability level and fairness.

David, you don't have a clue what people have been trying to tell you. That's fine too. We may suggest but we certainly can't tell you what to do. Your mind is made up anyway. Stick to your principles and t'hell with anybody that disagrees with you. I don't have a problem with that at all. I'm just stating for the record that I
completely disagree with you.
Btw, assignors try to give out games to the officials that they feel are competent to do those games. That determination of competency is usually helped through feedback from evaluators and rules interpreters. If enough competent officials aren't available, then people that call all over the floor
might then get the games, if they haven't been let go to give other new officials a shot. They usually won't be assigned to varsity games though. That's just too much of a risk. Most associations need bodies. That's what officials that won't listen to their evaluators/interpreters/assignors are. That's the way it works, like it or not, agree with it or not.
