You're issue seems to be that you want to work varsity games but there's already someone in that position. You seem to want to build yourself up to us, while tearing the other person down. Unfortunately, we can't help you get the varsity job. Even if we could, that's not the correct way to go about it. And it's not going to help you with the people who do make the decision either.

Do your job, don't worry about others, DON'T TEAR THEM DOWN TO OTHERS and if you're deserving, the position will eventually be yours.
The gal that is doing the Varsity Games right now for my alma mater, has been doing it for the past 5-10 years at a minimum. She's doing a good job, except for not keeping up on the new Time-Out/Intermission rules/regulations on when to sound the buzzer. I've learned some things from her on how the table runs smoothly during games. I am doing what I can to slowly build up to doing Varsity contests as scoreboard/timer.

One of the reasonings behind doing the WIAA 4A Regionals last year, was that I had as a reference the AD who has seen/watched me work scoreboard/timer during the JV & C-Squad games. Also my knowing the facilities that were being used helped a bit, as well as my never give up/can do attitude.

During some of the JV & C-Squad games, I've had to wear multiple hats at once, Scoreboard/timer & crowd control at the same time.

Great, congratulations. How else can we help you in this OFFICIATING forum?
