I can tell you this, I go to Vegas for a tournament and I tried to get some quality officials and I struggled. I asked all the guys I know if there was anyone new who they thought could do a good job at the tournament and they came up with zero! I'm doing the same thing this year and I haven't heard of any guys who are really good and new. Maybe my standards are too high, but if the guy in charge gives me a gym and I fly home (I will be there in about two years) a warm body just will not do.
