Third, I'm not sure why you think you're the authority on how the tournament selection process works or why you think you're the right person to tell others to "keep it to yourself".
I do not think that Jeff's comments were about how many want to work the tournament. I think he was giving a cautious warning to those that are here that would some day like to work the D1 level. And there are people here that have that desire. I know Jeff and I have met them going to the same camps.

Secondly, I really do not think John cares what you or I think regardless of how long with have been officiating. John is a person that comes up with his way of thinking and it was not developed because people agreed or disagreed with him.

And finally, this comment was not about being an authority. All the times people say things and speak does not make them an authority. Considering we have a couple of people that think every time the NF says something I hardly look at these comments as someone trying to be an authority.

Peace
