In all fairness Jeff, I would say a number of these officials that only work CPS games fall through the cracks and fail to receive post season assignments because the coaches in the CPS do a poor job of sending in ratings, which limits the ability of those officials to move through playoffs. Also a number city officials dont do the stuff necessary to get promoted (many are still x or r) or go to camps, both of which also have negative impact on their power ratings and playoff assignments.
