What is an All Star Official
Officials play an integral role at USASF-sanctioned competitions by ensuring fair competition for all participants. Much like a referee in a basketball game or an umpire in baseball, All Star Officials bring legitimacy and integrity to the sport.
    • Note:  Legality Officials are not scoring judges.
