I've seen this everywhere I've lived. Female officials with 3-4 years experience are jumping ahead of eminently qualified officials with 15+ years experience and working state tournaments. I just wish state and local associations would come out and say "that's the way it is" rather than pretend it's anything but. Please don't tell me that the best officials are being picked when we know that other factors have trumped ability and experience.
