Varsity fast track

[Peter Devana]

The only final evaluator is the" GAME". My definition of the game is the Players, The Coaches ,The Fans and your Fellow Officials. If you try a higher level and the "Game' accepts you then you belong there. If you get evaluated on a one time basis by some so-called Elite official who says you are now ready to go to the next level and after a few games its obvious that the "Game" does not accept you at that level then you shouldn't be there. The "Game' will be very critical at first but if you can or should hang in there and you survive the initial few games then you normally have arrived. I have evaluated officials for years and have found that one or two looks is never enough. The "Game", which sees you night after night, is the only accurate evaluator. If you find that you are having trouble night after night at one level then chances are you have been evaluated by the "Game' at that level and should move yourself down for more seasoning before the "Game " moves you down. Pretty Philosophical EH ??? Think about it!
