That doesn't seem outrageous to me at all for someone doing first-round girls playoffs.

No you only need one year as registered, two years required at the approved level, before you can get to the certified level provided that you meet all test requirements and varsity contest requirements. A one year certified offical could have as little as 4 years of experience
