We do that around here a few times a year. Our assignor likes us to get out and work with some of the newer officials, for the exact reasons you stated Camron.
A couple other reasons...
* heavy nights require more officials
* Sometimes the Varsity crew travels to a school and does the FROSH. or SOPH. game, usually in another gym, then the Varsity game. This saves the school mileage payment...our association pays the 3-Whistle crew doing both games ONE mileage payment. (The other crew doing the JV game and other lower level game get ONE mileage payment also.)
BTW...the one official that drives gets the $ for mileage and he is expected to buy snacks and beverages for the other two officials on the way home.
The varsity guys doing the FROSH./SOPH. games makes for some interesting dynamics.
Usually, the less experienced crew is doing the JV game.
