And to say that someone should only work one state final is also IMO not very practical. Then you are going to have a bunch of people that either are not ready, or never were truly qualified in the first place to work games.

If there was a rule that restricted an official to working one state final in Illinois for, say, every ten years, how would that not be practical? You're talking about 6 officials per year(boys and girls finals) x ten years = 60 0fficials. I haveta believe that Illinois has got way more than 60 officials who are already eminently qualified to work a high school final. [/B][/QUOTE]
It's actually more than that -- in Illinois, for example, they play more than one round at state and there's class A and AA. But even so, there are at least 20-30 qualified officials.
