j51969 - Probably 99.9% true.
99.9%? If you're talking about the officials - Not where I work. If you're talking about the lawsuits - I have no idea.

I am trying to work my way up to a full V schedule, but I'm not there yet. Tough to climb the mountain in my Association and maybe others. I still get my share of F/JV games (along with V games) as do some of my peers. As recommended on this Forum and by my mentors - never turn down a game if you don't have to and work, work, work to gain experience.

Our Association does well reporting problems to the state too.

While the statement may have some truth and it may be a high percentage, I believe your 99.9% is unfair to hard working officials trying to get ahead and to Associations who work hard supporting their officials.

My $.02

Do you belong to Cardinal? When I lived in the area I heard some bad things about moving up in that association.

I work for Bull Run. They have treated me very well, spent a lot of hours training me, and brought me along at the correct pace. No complaints from me.

I have no comment on my sister Association as all it would only be based on is here say.
