"The FED tests are a ridiculous tool for evaluating an official's ability on the field."
I couldn't agreed more.
But they are a TOOL, that if used correctly, can really be benificial in the development of officials.
I have worked with many officials that have years of experience on the field and STILL don't have a clue what the rules say. And that is exactly my point. If the certification requirements dictates the necessity for passing the test and the official has to open the book to do so, then by golly it accomplished something constructive.
