I worked underclass ball for 5-6 years before I got a full varsity schedule.
One thing people don't get is that for a new official to get a spot on a staff I have to cut another person or cut a few people back.
I had the occasion to get an email from an official who is in his 3rd year who told me he was proficient in 3-person mechanics and should get games. He'd In a pinch I sent him with an experienced crew and showed he had no clue how to work the system.
In the end, it's about assigner comfort to a certain degree. I can say this, however. If you took the time to communicate with me and express your concerns, I would either work with you or put you with a crew I trust and give you a fair shake.
Then again, where I live there are league assigners and not every game flows through one person, which is a better system, I think, for those who want to be seen and move up.
