IAABO has nothing to do with Wisconsin.

Bon,

Only the scorer is recommended to wear a back/white striped shirt. Since I haven't done scorer in 10+ years, I would have no need for it anywho.

This is my first year of officiating. At what point in my career should I start thinking about joining? What are the benefits? Costs?

Nope. Absolutely no reason to be a member in my area and it means nothing to be a member other than pay more money to get stuff.

I have kept my membership in IAABO even though I am not in an "IAABO area". I received good training from IAABO both locally and at camps. That said, if I was just starting out today here in FL, where IAABO is not a sanctioning body, I would not join. IAABO has a uniformity in rules interps & mechanics which usually lends to ease in transfers from one area to another without having to start over. If I ever move to an IAABO area or if they become the training arm here in FL, my paid dues will save me some headaches. And if I travel back to VT in season, I can still do games there.
