Certified vs. non-certified

[chseagle]

I took the recommendations of several on here & decided to e-mail the WIAA as to why there is not an organization/association for the table officials as there is for the floor officials.

The response received was that it's a good idea to have those that work the table certified like the floor officials, however "There are far too many jobs that are done in running any athletic event to certify each of the positions."

For those that have had the luxury to do games where the table crew is certified (or part of the association), what are the advantages/disadvantages?

Which do you prefer?
