That is a good question...But I feel that any "1st" relative would certainly call for discretion.....

You must live in a part of the country where these are all different people.

You're headed to a dwelling in Jurassic's neighborhood.

My thoughts....Immediate family=never take that assignment...graduate of that school=don't wear letter jacket to assignment...close relative like nephew/niece=probably never take that assignment...distant relative=not that big a deal...employee of a particular school=never take that assignment.

I saw 2 situations this year. One the uncle of a player worked 3 of that players home games. He didn't help the team one way or the other but the fans in the stands who don't know of the relationship would have preferred another offficial considereing they believe he he is past his prime of doing varsity games. After watching him work several games they are probably correct.

Second situation an official worked a game for my daughters team. The official is an asst lacrosse coach for the opposing team and several of the girls on that basketball team play on the lacrosse team. I think an obvious conflcit.

Not cool, dude.

regarding your 2nd situation, I generally agree. Curiously, what level? Varsity, JV, freshman?
