You can't ask why. You won't get an answer. I am just frustrated.

Any advice?

This topic came up at a college camp this summer. I forget the specifics, but the speaker noted that she had a "good year" and got fewer tourney assignments and a reduced schedule the following year; and had "not so good year" and receeived more tourney assignments and a better schedule.

The answer: Worry about what you can control (being the best official you can be) and don't worry about what you can't control (the specific assignments).

That's about all you can do. Take care of business and good things will come. Sometimes you have to be patient.

First of all, where do you live in Maryland? If it is around the DC area with one of the two main assigners, I might be able to find out more for you. I might be able to ask someone in the Cumberland area too if that is where you live.

If you're to the point that you're going to quit, then what the hell? Go to him and ask him. You've got nothing to lose at this point.
