The era doesn't matter. If there's a plethora of officials in that area, there could be lots of different systems to hold people back. Not saying that's the case in Billy's area, but here in Portland, we have lots and lots of officials, and many of them are very qualified. So it's really hard for a really good person to move up because that displaces other really good officials. It's hard to find a system that will balance out all the various "fair" considerations.
