Our members are required to make at least 70% of the meetings to be eligible for post season games.

Does either of your associations have anything similar to that?

In the CA chatper, one must attend 2 of the 3 required meetings and 1 of the 2 clinic dates (same clinic presentation given twice) prior to the season to be a member in good standing. I don't know what happens if you don't as I've never been unable to attend the required number. I would assume that one would not be eligible for postseason, plus probably some other assignments. There were no meetings once the season started, other than a postseason meeting near the end of the season for those invited.

In NV there were four meetings and a preseason clinic. Two of the meetings were preseason and two were during. You needed to attend the clinic to receive assignments in the 1st assigning period. You could miss one of the four meetings without penalty. If you missed 2 or more there was a reduction in future games, but this still did not make you postseason ineligible as I know of a couple of people who missed 2 and still worked in the playoffs.

So it is similar to what you have, but there are a few particular (perhaps peculiar) differences.

In Oklahoma we don't have to pay any dues at all. To be eligible for the playoffs we have to attend 6 local meetings, and pass part 2 of the test, with at least a 70%

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!
