The officials rank one another. A first place vote is 10 and a 10th place ranking is 1. The playoffs are worked with your crew. Once the rankings are turned in, then the state says ok we need one crew for this date or two crews for this date etc... Most the time in our association we only get one crew. I believe it is because there is a lack of quality officials (or those officials that desire to get better) and a lack of teams from our area that play deep enough into the playoffs.
I think the coaches need to have a say in who works. I recently transfered from KS and the coaches voted and the number of recommendations you had determined how far into the playoffs you worked. I like this way as opposed to the CO way. IF you piss a coach off he might not vote for you for that year. If you piss one of the officials off in the little area, they may never rank you.
