Assignor working games?

So now, in order to work a state tournament game you have to be recommended from that camp or have officiated a state tourney game previously. The first year of this camp our commissioner refused to send in any names. The next year he did the same and got voted out of office.

Sounds like you guys ultimately have the power, which is why he is no longer in that position.
