Our assignment commissioner assigns about 70 high schools (freshman, junior varsity, varsity, girls, boys) and a large number of public middle schools. We also have an assistant commissioner who earns $2,000.00 and assigns high school scrimmages, and Special Olympics Unified Games.

Are there any standardized quals for this job?

Man, when I read the amount from Billmac, I was thinking the same thing!! Holy crap, that still blows me away. I realize that I'm from a smaller state than most (or all...) but I was shocked to read that.
