I believe that the powers that be in your local area are making a huge mistake by allowing the tournament directors too much say on officiating matters.
It is not like the tournament director wants to have veto power over foul calls.

I don't have a problem with the TD/customer wanting to buy a certain product with a certain image to give his event the appearance of a higher level of professionalism than the others...as long as he's paying more than the ones using officials that can wear shorts.
