Our association assignor designates the R, U1 & U2 when we are assigned our games. Coming up, it was common for the R to give me as the U1 or U2 the R responsibility from the pregame to the end of the game. This was to give me the experience and confidence to perform the duties of an R. This year I've started to do give the up and coming U1 or U2 the R responsibilities during some of my games. I usually wouldn't do this for a big rivalry game. I felt it helped me along the way, so why not pass it down.
