New Official Certification in Different States

[JRutledge]

You missed the point I was trying to make. If you want most people to understand you, language should be used that is all encompassing. If you write an article that involves everyone, you do not want to confuse people that live in different jurisdictions.

Approved is the middle designation in Nebraska. Registered then Approved then Certified.

Thanks Jeff. The article now includes information for Connecticut, Illinois, Nebraska, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Any help on becoming an official in other states would be appreciated. The updated article is at http://phillyref.com/articles/basket...ecomearef.html .

Just a suggestion. Instead of calling it "New Official Certification Procedure Summaries For Selected States", since the word 'certification' has different connotations in different states, why not just leave the word out? "Becoming a High School Referee" works.

This would seem to be a good topic for a Wiki, if anyone is technically inclined.

The word was previously taken out and the current version is kept at http://phillyref.com/articles/basket...ecomearef.html. I'll give some thought to following up on the Wiki idea.
