South Central Pa here. Our district has three rounds of district playoffs. We use 14 crews of seven officials. We need 10 crews the 1st weekend. The second weekend we have the four crews that did not work the 1st weekend plus the top three rated crews from the 1st weekend (if we have any AAAA games in our district) If we don't have any AAAA games then only the top crew from the 1st week will work (AAA final). The remaining district finals are the 3rd week and the top two remaing crews will work the A & AA finals (if no AAAA). All our games have an evaluator assigned and for the most part it washes out pretty well. However there is room for improvement. The major complaint in our district isn't who works the district games but who will be nominated to move on to inter-district games. The official's representative is who makes the recomendations for inter-districts and it doesn't seem as if our best crews are nominated. I honestly don't have an answer to this problem, someone has to make the decision and someone is always going to think they were more deserving.
