There's no need, as the increased performance would be negligible at best.

At least you'd know that the table officials have had some training.

Yes it's a moot point to think about, however if such an organization did exist at least the appendices of the Officials' Manual would be followed.

I don't mind volunteering at games, at least I get in for free, can get free food, and watch games without losing weight in the pocketbook.

Since I am unable to work, this gets me out of the house.
