I'm willing to say you may be an official, if "being an official" means nothing more than:
1. You have a uniform
2. You belong to an association
3. You get paid (or volunteer) to serve as an on-field official

But I think "being an official" should be more than that. That is why I still do not believe you are "an official" under my defintion.


You clearly are young since you think that 7 years of doing something makes you an expert and not needing advice from anyone else. There are likely guys on here who have officiated longer than you have been alive and who have officiated at levels far "higher" than youth league and flag football.

Maybe Santa will bring you a little humility this year.

TXMike, when did I say I was "an expert"? I'm sorry but I didn't know we had ANY experts here. If you are the forum expert, then I apologize--I didn't know you were the expert. I just said I am experienced at what I do--you concluded from my posts that I am "an expert?" Since you think I'm young then you must be far superior to me. How did you become an expert and what do I need to do to reach your level? Could you please "wow" me with your credentials. I'll bet you have a whistle made of solid gold and a flag with diamonds sewn into it.
