I work NCAAW, and the flights are due to the camps being in Colorado, Virginia and Philly (I live just east of STL).

Haha, I'm a groundskeeper at a small college (so I have winters off for the most part), but the way I'm able to do this is the fact that my better half is the breadwinner of the family and fully supports my officiating career. I am a lucky man!

Yes you are. Good for you!

I got to hear a little about the "game" from an official who used to be in her conference. The official said the nonsense was enough to make her leave. She wanted to jump before she got pushed.

The only way I even come close to justifying that kind of cost is if you're sleeping at a college for more than two days and even then I'm iffy about it. The Big East used to hold its women's camp at three schools (American, Catholic and Univ. of Maryland) with officials staying in dorms at American and managed to keep the cost in the low 200s. Of course I don't know whether the conference subsidized some of the cost but it definitely made it easier on the wallet.

Yup... Played the game. I worked 13 games in 4 days. Not too bad of a camp. There were classroom sessions with former coaches one day, Dee Kanter another day and Debbie Williamson on the third day.

I got some information on the rules changes from Debbie in her classroom session that I'll post in the appropriate thread.
