At an association meeting a couple of years ago, one of my assigners mentioned that it would be a good idea to be
clean-shaven and without glasses, if possible. He said you'll never see that in writing, but just mentioned it as a "word to the wise."
This sounds like one of those things that an assignor (who doesn't have anything better to worry about) says at a camp and then it spreads like wildfire without anyone challenging it. I think that "all things in moderation" would probably be a more accurate statement. For what it's worth, I just looked at the list of the top 5 refs in our assoc and here's the tally:
1) Mustache
2) Glasses
3) Clean shaven
4) Goatee
5) Mustache
We do have a guy that has a beard that looks like he just climbed out of the hills. He's an excellent ref but rated around 22 in our association. My personal belief is that his appearance is deemed "unprofessional" by some and it hurts him on his ratings.
