If it means anything, I think you're certifiable.

LMAO If I was certifiable, I would of, at least once, been put in a straight jacket & locked up in a rubber room.

My reasoning for asking everyone's preference is cause of knowing that different people have been trained differently.

My thinking is that if there was an organization where table crews were certified & the rule was only those certified could be used that games, as a whole, would go more smoothly from a game management standpoint. Also this way a floor official would know exactly what training/knowledge the table crew has.

There are far too many jobs that are done in running any athletic event to certify each of the positions.

I am only concerned with the 2 (or 3 depending on the state) at the table. (Scorer, Timer/Scoreboard, & Shot Clock)

The coaches are supposed to be certified (though that can be disputed).

The floor officials are certified (otherwise they wouldn't be there).

As long as the hot dog concession vendor is certified, then I'm satisfied. Everyone else? Who cares? No other job is as important as getting a really good hot dog after the game.

In other words, as long as they have Food Handler Credentials, you're good?

In theory, you could demand that only those certified in cleaning toilets be allowed to do so, but when you're sitting there I think it would be difficult to tell the difference.
