As it relates to just making the playoffs, the answer is no.

There is an "unwritten rule" as it relates to how many times someone works a state final. We have been told that 3 times is enough. For the most part they have stuck to that over the last 20 years or more. There was a guy last year that went his fourth time and that was because there was some conflict for him to work the Championship game (with a school). That was an unusual case and I cannot think of any other situation where an official went 4 times. Now those number of times are based on which side of the gender you are working those games. I am not talking about working both genders to come up with that number. You could theoretically work 3 Girl's and 3 Boy's State Finals in your career.
