If these games aren't "important" enough for the entire team to show up for then why should I consider them "important"?

Maybe that is because the person coaching that game ( who doesnt get paid for coaching ) may have had to take non paid time off work to run over and coach the game. Or parents that couldnt get off work to get thier kids to the game on time.
I have no problem with the statement of some games are more important than others, I had a problem with the statement of the lower the level the less concern.
But I guess this is an issue that there will always be disagreement on because of the different reason people officiate sports.
