My chapter uses individual assignments. It gives me the oppurtunity to work with many different officials and being a small chapter (95 members) there isn't much change amongst each official with the mechanics. I have seen Crews work and you can see that each crew has their own deviations from the prescribed mechanics. Not that its a bad thing but it tends to be inconsistent from one crew to the next. I also work college and that is a crew and I wouldn't change it at all. If we were a larger chapter for high school I would like to be on a crew. On a crew system you have to have a way to get younger guys on the field. The problem with making crews with a small chapter is that you may get stuck with a guy that isn't as dedicated to getting better than others. Right now if I get a game with that guy, I can rest easy because I know next week I will be working with someone else.
