What assignor really cares about a wedding ring?

I take my wedding ring off because when I watch games in person, I always get distracted by the wedding rings of officials working the game. So I do it purely for my own personal reasons.

I worn goatees a few times for HS games. One time a college supervisor who had just hired me was in attendance and he made it clear I better never do that for one of his games.

So that brings up the other thing about wearing facial hair at HS games, you never know who might be watching. If you have college aspirations, working HS games sans facial hair may be the prudent business decision.
