Hmmmmmm, Snaqs...you usually seem pretty insightful, but I gotta tell you "reason" #2 wouldn't be one of MY reasons for doing 6th grade ball.

When an official is just getting started officiating...you bet...but, I don't really think a veteran official is going to "get better" doing 6th grade ball....they may even pick up some bad habits if they are not careful.

Maybe, #3. To do my assignor a favor.
