How many first round games will be played in your state? In Alabama, we have 6 high school classifications with 8 regions in each class. The top 4 teams in each region make the playoffs (32 teams per class or 16 games per class). This means 96 1st round playoff games. Approximately 900 officials are needed to work the first round. I'm sure this pales to Texas and California to name a couple.
