KY does the finals with an "All-Star" crew. 1st, 2nd, some 3rd & some 4th are done with regular crews. The "A.S." crew is worked in at week 3 and may have a semi before the finals. There's some good and bad to this system. The good is someone from every region gets to work a finals rather than 4 crews out of 16 regions. Problem is some assignors have their favs and will send them every year rather than opening the door for another qualified person. The region could also send a bad apple where as if they sent a crew, I don't think the state people would let a bad crew get that far.
Ky jumped on the NFL waggon with All-Star crews and just read in the referee mag that the NFL is getting back to the crews. IMO, I like the crews if they are solid but have been at the finals last two years and noticed officials in different positions that sometime are not lined up at the right spot.

On the other hand, all star crews work two game prior to the finals, correct Gman34? I cannot remember but it seems like the crews do a good job down there.

How did your game go at Frankfort? Mine was OK, 49-23
