The frustrating part is that the fix is so simple: Add a requirement that a ref must do x number of girls' varsity games to go to the girls' tournament, and make x a reasonable number such as 10 or 12. This would also spread the tourney eligibility out a little more among the men, and would get refs to the state tourney that know and appreciate the girls' game.

Michigan has that requirement ... written .

Mick,
Do you think that the lack of numbers, sometimes, causes the required number of games provision, to get thrown out the window?
It has in our area at times.
Just for the girl's basketball tournament over 700 officials indicated their availability, and a little over 650 were placed in the tournament (Districts, Regionals, QF's, SF's, and Finals).
Now if 100 turn them back in, 50 have a conflict, we now have a problem with numbers.
The selection process could use some help, IMO, but I'm not sure what the answer is.

oatmealqueen,
Of course. I understand that can exacerbate the problem.
But, as you know there are multiple discrepancies, not just number of games, not just lack of numbers in this area and in the area of MMOA, both under the
presumed auspices of the MHSAA, the "largest sports officials organization of it's kind in the United States".
The largest ??!!!? Maybe it's too big to be effective.
