I started my refereeing career in Summerside PEI over 40 years ago- so we started in the same area.
To answer your question - I feel you should move to the next level as soon as you fully capable of being the "lead" official in the level you are presently doing.
Some people move up very quickly as they become capable " lead" officials at the lower levels very quickly. They must move up or they will become bored and unchallenged.
As an educator I feel that one of our main problems in BB officiating is that we don't recognize the "streamers" quickly enough and move them up to where they belong.
Of course at the very high levels there often isn't enough room and you just have to wait your turn sometimes. If you have what it takes and are persistent you WILL get there.
Good Luck
