It looks like you didn't do much of a favor to your fellow officials from another country though, does it SCAB? But hey, the weather was good, the field was beautiful, the games were good and the kids seemed to have a good time. And you made a few bucks too probably. Life is good.
Not to worry. I couldn't do what you did. Ever. But that's just me.
I read somewhere in that forum that you guys were from the Detroit area. Maybe an equivalent situation might be the MHSAA using you guys all year round and then telling you before the state championship games that they're bringing in officials from Illinois or Ohio...or Canada to do those games. Nothing the matter with that, right? I'm sure that the officials from Illinois or Ohio would never ask whatinthehell was going on either. They'd probably think that it was only a favor for someone.
One other thing....I see that the MHSAA posted a
Code For Athletic Officials on it's website. #3 in that code states
"Accept contracts for and officiate only contests for which you are qualified and experienced." I take it from that then that you are qualified and experienced in Canadian football. Correct?
