I never spoke for any area other than mine.

Here in my little corner of Connecticut, there are only two things that gets one from the subvarsity list to the varsity list: in season observations and evaluations by a trained evaluation committee members, and in season partner evaluations. Period.

Varsity officials (unless one is on the trained evaluation committee) no longer evaluate junior varsity officials. Evaluations that count toward promotion are never done at summer camps.

Sure, fans, coaches, administrators, etc., don't "care" about subvarsity games, but officials that want to move up to varsity (granted, some don't want to move up) do "care", and those that observe and evaluate those officials do "care".

I certainly don't expect that to be the same in other areas, but that's the way it's done here. Here in my little corner of Connecticut, somebody does care about subvarsity interscholastic games assigned by our high school assigner.
