In some areas, this one included, that is the way it is. The assignor will take anyone he can get to work 3:00 games, and going dressed is the standard here.
I agree that if you really want somewhere to change, they can probably find somewhere for you. But, at the schools I speak of locally, I have asked for a room before and they have told me to go in the home team's locker room.

The reason I said that is you seem to know more about what people say here than I do. Again you have not address why most by far have said they have never worked where they were not provided a place to get dressed or why the email was given and sent to officials in the OPers area? Why do you think that was sent around in the first place?? Do you think it was sent around because it was expected for the officials to get dressed outside of a locker room? OK, you live in an area where you can come dressed, good for you. I think that is unprofessional just like I feel a lot of things are unprofessional regardless of the area like wearing a CCA jacket to one of these games or not shining shoes. If you do not agree, that is your right to not agree. But I do not have to change my standards because you do not like them. And believe it or not, there are going to be people in this thing we do that will make judgments about officials that do not jive with your personal standards. We have people here that come here all the time and complain about "politics" when I bet it is mostly they are unwilling to do something that is expected and chalk up their lack of success to politics.
