Open Book test.

It's fun to get together with a large room full of people that you have something in common with. It is even more fun if you are all trying to accomplish a common task. That is what the open book test is like.
As a GHSA official you must take both an open book, and a closed book test. The combined score on these tests dictate whether you are a certified/registered official, or can even officiate at all. The tests are 100 True or False questions, and many of them are tricky. If you look, you can find quotes from the rule book that answer each question. Some of the tougher questions lead to some heated debates that are only solved when someone finds the quote in the book.
Everyone in your organization meets and takes the test at one time. It is like a reunion of many of your wrestling experiences. In one area of the room there were guys that I have coached against. In another corner were a couple of guys that I coached in Freestyle in the off season. Right on my left was a wrestler who had some grueling battles with one of the wrestlers off of my High School team.
The season is getting closer, and it keeps getting more exciting.
A little post script from Saturdays officiating. My left leg was pretty sore this morning. Although I have been running, and watching my weight, it is not the same as getting out on a wrestling mat and doing a few hundred lunges. I officiated so much over the spring and summer that these muscles were in shape. I guess I will have to start a new conditioning routine to simulate positions I commonly get into when I officiate. I must spend a lot of time in a left leg forward lunge. I would get someone to tape some of my matches, but I know if I watched them, I would just be thinking how fat, and bald I am.(At least the times I was trying to figure out why any woman can resist me.)
