Conflicts of interest

It's kind of interesting how standards change because of needs. I've mentioned a few times on here before, that I had a conversation with an assessor who said her first decision is who needs a real referee crew, and who can get by with just a "body" to fulfill USSF requirements. On the other hand, now that I'm involved in roller derby, it's very very common to see significant others wearing stripes (or non-skating official jerseys) in matches.
