Thank fiasco, for once again pointing out nothing.

If and when I get that call from an assignor, and I'm unhappy about it, I WON'T be whining about it on an Internet discussion board.

BTW, keep in mind we're hearing ONE side of the story here.

This year the season starts out, the regular person is sick, a new person who does not know the scoreboard or the current rules/regulations is used that is not technically competent enough to do Varsity games first time out would get anyone hot under the collar.

Sure I've done Varsity level games at 3A/4A Regionals & worked the JUCO Tournament, but to be skipped over for a person that is technically not even done any lower level games as table crew, when there's qualified personnel available, is like asking a true blue rookie official (first game ever) to work a rivalry game when there's a 20 year veteran available.

Perhaps you'e not as good as you think you are.

Perhaps you overstep your boundaries and stick your nose into parts of the table administration that are not your concern.

Perhaps they were hoping you would quit or stop doing the things you were doing that made you an irritant.

Perhaps they got tired of waiting.

Perhaps there are other reasons they chose the other person over you.

In fact, I'm 100% sure of it.
