Varsity Eligibility

[PiggSkin]

I've seen a few people mention working varsity games in their first or second year... What are the requirements for being eligible to work varsity games in different areas..?

Around here, we're required to do three years of sub-varsity and accrue so many points... I'm sure this will make be a better official, let me build character and all that other stuff... But I'm kinda jealous that in other places, one could be varsity eligible in year one or two, while I won't be eligible until year four... (I know, I'm whining...)

Is the three year plan more of the exception or the rule..? Just curious...
