Do you have assignors? Do you pay them a scheduling/booking fee?

Or do you contract directly with the ADs?

Curious as I have a buddy who moved to OK and is looking to get back into officiating. He was an outstanding official out here about 5 years ago.

I live right on the MN/ND border. You can choose to fully register in one state and then reciprocity is $10 for whichever state you're not fully registered in. The only reason to fully register in both states is if you are interested in trying to work the state tournament. Officials must be fully registered in any state they wish to work the state tournament in.

This is my first year fully registering in North Dakota after being a MN official for 8 years and utilizing reciprocity for 4 years in ND, and I am fortunate to have been selected to work state tournaments in both states this year.

I will admit it was a pain the butt to have to go through two rules clinics, take two tests (they were not the same), and pay two full registration fees, but it was all worth it in the end!
