I did not say people do not do those levels. Of course there are people those games, but it is not a level official's association advocate or asks their membership to cover as a training opportunity. We do not use those games for camps like other levels to teach officials mechanics. Usually people that do them find out word of mouth and work those games as a money opportunity. And usually the officials that are newer that work them, develop bad habits that tend to be hard to break. There are many officials that never work them and I have known many officials stop working all together based on their Men's leagues experiences.
