We have a rule that you don't get varsity games until after your 3rd year. BUT we had a young ( 20 yrs old ) slender guy in his first year got 3 varsity games. He had the look that they were looking for. The next year when the assignments were given out for December, I go 6 Varsity games, he got 8. His 2nd year, my 6th or 7th. I passed the part II with 96% he failed and had to give up his varsity games ( our policy is you have to have over 75% to do varsity games.)

That ticked my, but it's happened twice since then. It all politics. BTW, I am 6'2" and 240 and 53, so I know I am not a spring chicken.

I used to worry about that kind of stuff. All you can concentrate on is yourself, your progress, and your improvement. Worrying about others only leads to undue stress and frustration.

Usually after a while, creme rises to the top and the dirt settles to the bottom and there is plenty of room in between.

The wording does come across as a little harsh but locally I have an expectation that the officials who wish to referee the Premier games will attend a pre season action day and training P.O.E clinics as required.While not compulsory-their assignments and reimbursements will be affected by not attending.And yes they have regular evaluations both at the domestic competition level and also the National panel games hosted here.
