If not mistaken, you work football in IL as well, right? Has that opened up more opportunities for you or others to get downstate for one of the many championship games? I think the selection process for BBall officials to work championship games will go pretty much unchanged, as long as they continue to use the "Top 15" list for selection. If you get the games on merit, maybe some of the officials on the bottom of the list get the shot at the lower level games, but the were still rated among the highest in the state.

Football is a different animal all together. All championship games are played on the same weekend. That would not be the case if they went to a 3 or a 4 class system. If you look at there PowerPoint Presentation, the 8 teams during the state finals weekend would semi-final teams and then the championship games on Saturday. So they would have the same number of officials working the games. The main thing that would change is all those officials would actually work a championship game.
Also I am not sure what the Top 15 list has to do with who works the playoffs. There are more factors to who works the playoffs than who is on those Top 15 lists.
Peace
