Moving Up!

[Stripes33]

What's the best way to go about getting higher level games? I'm a fourth year official with varsity experience. I've had nothing but good feedback on my work. In our state there are a small number of assignors and our association does little to help. You are responsible for getting your own games, which I do (66). But, I'm having real trouble getting AD's to move me up. I'm currently looking into some camps this spring with hopes some connections can be made. I know time has to be put in but I really feel I'm ready. Also, another issue I've run into is this good-ol-boy network and it relly drives me crazy. I see guys with less experience doing games they have no business doing because there buddy got them in. Any advise? Just venting!!!
