I also believe that they should have to take a test AND pass, to be a head ref.

I suggest that you do some research before saying that the head refs "should" have to take a test and pass.
As I understand it, Head Refs have to get training from HQ (not quite sure if that's in NH or not, but I think it is), and they definitely have to take a test and pass it. Us normal zebra-type refs have to take a similar test and pass it, after doing some online training. There are also conference calls on a regular basis among the various head refs to keep everybody apprised of what's going on. That's the stuff I know about; I'm sure some of the head refs could confirm that if they wanted to.
To the OP: I'm very impressed by the spirit you've showed in that post. Good luck at Colorado, and may skill drive that luck!
