I can't wait to see if:

1) Connecticut switches to two hand reporting.

2) Connecticut switches to orally stating numbers rather than numerals (as we currently do), i.e., orally state, "Twenty-three", instead of, "Two. Three".

Connecticut wants you to say "Two-Three"?

When they tell you to pay your dues, do they say it will be "Five-Five dollars"?

Been that way for over thirty-five years. That's the way rookie officials are taught, and that's the way officials are evaluated.

Also, our annual board dues are One Two Five dollars.

Maybe things will change with the new two hand reporting, if we go in that direction using our IAABO mechanics.

Wow (assuming the decimal point goes where I suspect it does). What do you get for that big chunk of cash? Wow, again.

$125.00 is our fixed annual dues, no matter how many games you work, add to that a 7% fee based on our earnings.

As long as numbers are being discussed...RIP 007

Is that for the local association, the state association, any national (NFHS) membership?

Our annual dues are about that much, too, but they also include an NASO membership as our entire association belongs.

IAABO local, IAABO state, IAABO international, and CIAC (state interscholastic sports governing body) officials association. Connecticut basketball officials, 100% all IAABO, don't belong to the NFHS, in fact, if a basketball official doesn't work another NFHS sport, it's almost impossible to join the NFHS as a basketball official (Arbiter muddies the water).

This was the problem that I had with IAABO. Too many levels of bureaucracy leading to everyone having their hand in your pocket. Someone has to pay for those national conventions which they hold!

There was a time when it was recommended in many literature that is how you reported. That was the case when I started. Now that being said, I did it for years to slow me down and not say multiple syllables for numbers. Never really had a problem with that method either. But I do understand why those do not like it, but again it was the way it was taught and the table people never were confused. I know the point was to stay away from the "teen..." numbers because they were multiple syllables.
