Can one move up too fast ?

I thnk that in your situation with an assignor and an evaluation process, you should be confident in the fact that he/she thinks enough of you to move you up in this fashion. There's always a bit of "am i ready for this" I believe in any promotion process. Out where I live where there is no eval process, associations, or assigners and we just contact AD's for games I think that this would be more of an issue.

This is my first year in BB and have already been asked to fill in for 2 V dates. I avoided getting HS certified so that I wouldn't be tempted to take these dates. Granted, I live in a small town rural situation where officials are horridly difficult to come by, but I am still "learning the ropes" and was not going to end up giving the coaches, kids, and other officials I'd be working with a guy that was nowhere near ready.
