Whoever the decision makers are in the Portland area are need to revisit this decision. That is a terrible policy. Plenty of people with the ability to work at the HS V level move every year and to have a blanket policy that they will not do V games is, IMO, just plain stupid. Portland risks losing talented transferring officials if they keep this policy.
