Kansas

In Kansas we use a system based on meeting requirements and receiving recommendations. First the official must attend a series of three meetings and acheive a score of 90 or better on the NF test. Then the coaches give recommendations for the officials who they see work. Based on the quantity of recommendations and proximity of the game officials get post-season assignments. The first rounds are based on crews. After that first week then each official is assigned based on his own recommendations and location. Some crews still work together on higher level games but it isn't required. Normally the maximum ammount of games a playoff official will work is 3. There are 4 rounds of games in Kansas and a very few do get 4 games. On average it is between 1 and 2 games per official.
