But I think you might disqualify more "high school" officials than "college" officials.
I never said that. I said that working the minimum number of HS games should NOT be a sufficient reason for being excluded from post-season work.
I don't think it's acceptable. But I understand how it might happen. I would have no problem with an assignor pulling high school games from a "college" official who can't keep the rulesets straight.

That's all I needed to hear from you - we agree it's bad for anyone to miss 2 easy rules calls in a game.
The side issue which you brought up about college officials working the minimum number of HS games so they can take playoff spots away from the guys who work 30+ HS games a year is not worth arguing. It happens and is going to continue to happen. But I don't accept that as an excuse for the OP not knowing the rules.
