The Road to Become a College Official

[Judtech]

Having stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last nite:
1. Determine whether you want to work in the NCAA Mens or Women's side. This must be determined early beacuse if you start with one and don't make it, 'the power's that be' will think they are 2nd place, and they dont like that.
2. Your appearance is HUGE. If you are a little overweight, have tatoos, wear glasses whatever, it is a negative. You can have the best judgement, have the rule book memorized and NEVER be out of position, but if you don't have the 'look' you don't have a chance
3. It has been said before but CAMPS CAMPS CAMPS. Most assignors at the college level have their own camps. SOP is that if you want in their league you HAVE to go to THEIR camp. It is sort of like a union card, you give them money, and if you do well enough, they give you games. Don't be suprised if this takes more then a year or two.
4. Be patient and HAVE FUN!!
