Advice

[Dommer1]

All of the above is good advice. Many years ago, I got playoffgames (beyond the first round) 3 years in a row. Then, the next years only first round games. I had improved a lot as an official over those years, just as you have, and was likely one of the better officials in my area, but I still did not get the juicest games.

I decided it was probably someone elses turn, and accepted it. A few seasons later, I was able to move up the ladder and I now work football at a level that I never would have envisoned back when I got "passed up" for those big games.

So take a "big picture" view of the whole thing, and then get in touch with the assignor the way BktBallRef suggests. That's taking a creative and positive approach to the whole thing.

Good luck!
