Is it just proximity to the tournament and through your local assignor? Does the tourney organizer select officials or do they pick an assignor who can get them a bunch of local guys to cover the games?
Does AAU have a central office, website, board?
I worked one AAU tourney out here last summer and it was done through one of the local HS officials.

I am in northern VA and our rec comissioner asigns us the games. Whoever sponsors the tournament contacts our assignor and he gives us the games. We have several AAU groups in this area -- Gym Rats, Vogues, Fairfax Stars, etc. My schedule is more towards the girls side and let me tell you, there are some terrific teams in this area.
There is a separate web site for AAU girls and boys:

Thanks bud. When I was with bd 12 I used to officiate some of these games at Montrose Christian HS in Maryland as they were assigned by our HS association assignor or his assistant. I just didn't know that they were part of some bigger hierarchy and national system. As I have gotten older, I like to see the whole picture and know more about the system and organization that I am involved with.
PS We used to work some games in No. VA, where I worked, at school like Paul VI and Episcopal.
Hey Ronald, those games still only pay $35? They paid that when I left 3 years ago!
