I have read many of the Bell Co threads. Our assigning office would not assign an official to a game in which there was a relative. Its one thing to have certified officials. It is another thing when they are assigned. We have played in games where there was no way the person in the stripes we certified or assigned to the game as a crew. Some schools cut corners by just asking gives to officiate the games that are certified but are not assigned to the game.
