Some assignors insist that we stay others have made it an individual choice. I have already lost seven games form one assignor due to my refusal to do this.
I was wondering if this policy is in effect in other states?

Nope, this is a Massachusetts thing. And this is a stupid policy. Officials should not be the sportsmanship policy outside of the game. This policy makes the officials more of a target than we already are after the game.
