Think a little bit.

Do the officials that work games at your school choose a student to act as host while they're at your school?

Do the officials choose the table crew?

Do the officials come to your school prior to the game and provide training for the table crew?

Take another look and tell us if you think those are school issues or officials' issues. It's a grocery list of things that your school AD should consider, things he should take care of before the officials ever arrive at your school.
