Interesting thread folks.
I'm in my 6th year in my association and I would say I am one of those "split" referees. Most of my GIRLS games this year are varsity games. I do have a few frosh/soph but they are double headers with varsity games. I also have a few JV girls games alone because the varsity contests for those schools (private/catholic) are considered "high caliber" varsity which only for the "best" officials.
For the boys side, I do pretty much all frosh/soph and JV games with a few small school varsity games.
For me, I can't say I've had a logical progression. My schedule's been screwed in the past due to work issues so other officials may have passed me if they have more availability. However, I am generally pretty happy with any games I get.
I feel like I've improved in recent years so I think when I'm able to do more of a full schedule (depends on how my job goes), I will get more chances.
