Christmas Tourneys

I do get an availability sheet for the Proviso West Tournament, but I have yet to work that tournament and I probably will not for some years. There are state final officials that have not worked the tournament yet. I am just happy to be considered. The main reason I get sent the availability sheets right now is the fact that I worked a scrimmage several years ago all by myself. The coaches like the job I did and I have received an availability sheet ever since. I just know I am not going to hold my breathe to work it in the next couple years.

That's my old high school, and that tournament was big even back in the dark ages when I went to school there. I always thought it would be neat to work that tournament, but everyone I've talked to about it says the same as you - it's hard to get on the list. So I guess I'll just have to put it in the same category as winning the lottery - it would be great, but I'm not holding my breath. Let me know if you ever get hired; that would be a good excuse to go to a game. I'm usually up in the area over the holidays at some point.
