In my area, we have one person making assignments for the association. When a new official joins the chapter our assignment secretary ask if he is transferring from another area (he also makes periodic announcements to new officials to let him know). If you are transferring, he says he makes a point of going watch you work in a camp or at an early season game to evaluate you "skill level". If he thinks you are ready he will give you the upper level games. Sounds like he has a fair system. Hopefully you are going to an area where assignors are of like philosophy.

We have a new official this year that claims he has 12 years experience in another state. I will let you know if the assignment sec. follows his stated program.
