In MN the head of officials and a committe of rules clinicians (other officials) along with a member of the High School league do the assigning for the 1/4's, semi's, 3rd place and Finals. These games are awarded based on past performance and coaches evaluations. District and Section games are assigned by Section assignors and getting one has no direct bearing on getting the other. Although the ability to get district and section games will greatly increase your chances at getting a state tourney game it is not a requirement. I realize that in some states you need to continually prove yourself throughout the playoffs in order to advance to the state tournament. That is not the case in MN. You can have the worst Section final game ever and still be allowed to work the state tourney. It's also technically possible to work the state tourney without having worked any other playoff games that year.
I hope this answers your questions.
