certification question

I work both Md. and W.Va. The funny thing is our board is based in Md. and we are a West Virginia board.

Much like our airport is named for the Maryland City, but it is located in West Virginia...

I'm registered with IAABO in NJ but I work nearly all my games in NYC. All NYC/NYS wants is that I have IAABO membership and I attend all the appropriate pre-season meetings in NY.

We have some guys working in NYC who live in PA. I know of at least one guy who lives in MD.

Minnesota has reciprocity with ND, SD, WI, IA, MI, and IL... an official registered in one of those states can become registered in MN by filling out a form and paying a $10 licensing fee. This $10 fee will register the official for all sports that they're registered for in their home state.

I've never had to worry about it... I've never worked a game outside of MN. I would love to, someday, work a basketball or football game in my hometown in Iowa, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

A few years ago I was broadcasting a game in MN and the officials were from SD.(I live right on the MN/SD border). It turns out I happened to know the officials that night fairly well. One was the guidance counseler/GBB coach for the school in the SD town I lived in(that was the last year of GBB in the fall in SD) and the other official in the 2 man crew was one of the sales staff at our radio stations I worked at. Only night before a game I ever told the coach to be somewhat nice to the officials becuase if he wasn't I"D hear about it the next day from one and maybe two people.(depeneding on if I ran into the guidance counseler while doing my news beat calls)
