Must've been worried about a speeding ticket!

Always, unfortunately, there was no free food.

On a serious note, even when I have to show up "dressed," I'm not wearing my stripes. At the very least, my shoes, shirt, and whistle are in my bag and I'm wearing a plain black undershirt.

I worked a sub-varsity game last Saturday and I had *no clue* how to go to the game.

I dressed in nice clothes and took my bag the same as if I was working a varsity game. The only change was that I showed up at about 9:30AM for a 10AM game instead of 9AM as I was warned nobody might be there before then.

I changed, put on my jacket, went to the gym, and waited. My partner showed up about 9:50AM, dressed in everything except a striped shirt and officiating shoes. He sat on the bleachers and changed and then came and said hello. We started about 5 minutes later.

I'm really not that comfortable coming dressed, I guess -- I'm just not used to it.

I wear a tie to all of my board's assignments, right down to MS. We were told to dress professionally, so I do.

If my board doesn't assign it (rec league, travel, et al), then I dress more casually, but I don't arrive or leave in my stripes.

A tie? Really? I would never consider wearing a tie, particularly not for a MS game....but not even of for a playoff game or even the state final. There are a few people that go that far but most of them have day jobs that have them in such attire. I own ONE suit and wear it to funerals and such.

My normal day job....just about anything...jeans/shorts and a pullover, or even a T sometimes. I do dress "up" when I have a game that night but it is often khaki's or such and a nice golf shirt or button down.

Now, if we got paid professional rates, I could see dressing in a suit/tie but for an amount that roughly equates to minimum wage...no.

I don't wear a tie, ever. I'll wear a pair of slacks and a polo shirt, button down shirt, or a sweater.

Our association's dress code is ties for Varsity games. I don't agree with it not because I don't think we should dress that professionally but because a lot of the facilities we work in don't have adequately clean locker rooms and/or hot running water.

If I'm provided professional acccomadations then I don't have a problem wearing a tie to a game.

I'm happy I don't live/work there. I'd do it, but it's overkill. Hell, only about 10% of the coaches here have ties on, if that.

Business casual here. Back thirty years ago, it was a different story. Ties and jackets back then, which changed to just ties about twenty years ago, now, it's just, as I said, business casual.
