You mentioned the case where seasons were changed. Here in VA we went from "Fall Ball" for the girls to running the seasons at the same time. If you were basing the OFFICIATING aspect of it you would say this is a bad move for the girls side as you have a more diluted 'talent' base from which to draw officials from. Whereas, in "Fall Ball" more "A" rated officials would be available to work their games. However, this was about equity in seasons/recruiting and not officiating. Attendance figures are/were not used to decide the equity merit of these cases.

I did not say anything about seasons changing. We have always run seasons at the same time or as long as I can remember. And football is kind of big here, I do not see a lot of officials wanting to work fall ball at the high school level.
