Probably some old thread has gone over this before, but what levels of ball are people on this board regularly reffing and how many years total have you been at it?

4A varsity hs is the highest I've worked during the season. I have finished my sixth season. About 5-1/2 calendar years.

This winter will be my 10th season. I work mostly varsity ball and some college.

This fall will be my second season. Last year I worked MS, 2 freshmen, and 1 JV game. I have also worked some varsity scrimmages and am going to a three person camp in a couple of weeks with varsity teams.

Just finished my high school education, refereed during all four years of high school. Starting my fifth year and I've done it all from 3rd grade to high school varsity. More of the former, but am starting to work towards the latter more now. This season should consist of about 90% high school, the rest grade school.

8 years of scorer's table experience (HS Varsity, NCAA D-I).
4 years of on-court officiating (college intramurals).
Not sure what it's going to be next year.

This just goes to show how different things are in other parts of the country. There is pretty much no way anyone would get to a state final once, let along two in an 8 year period. There are people around here that do not get a Regional assignment (first level or round of games) by their 8th year working high school basketball.

1 year- Jr. Pro, Grammar school, Jr. High, AAA high school scrimmages, Jr. high semifinals in my area, and AAU state tournament. Through all of this I got very lucky and gained great connections and got invited to IIOC camp, one of John Guthrie's camp.
