I could care less what parameters you set up locally, Tom. As long as everybody in your area is trying to do the same thing, great. But, as Nevada said, you may have a problem when your officials go outside your area. However, imo that ain't really a biggie either. A good pre-game takes care of most of those problems.

I can understand what you are saying and I will set the parameters. Unfortunately, I don't think Nevada will like those parameters.
I also agree that officials should be able to do both, but if you can tell me why they can't I'm all ears. Like most associations, we have officials who are at/near the tops in terms of ratings, new officials and those in the middle. The officials in the middle are the ones who make up most of the association and that is where we need to get better.
