In Utah, at the end of each season an official is given a ranking based upon his game evalutations (done by other officials), written test scores, and meeting attendance. The week prior to the playoffs, the state board meets and decides who the top officials have been for that year and assign the better officials to the better games. Only the higher ranked officials are allowed to do the 2nd round on up to the state championships. We have 5 divisions for the high schools and we work 5 man crews.
