I need a bit of advice on how to handle the situation I'm in.
My HS association does not work in crews, so all assignments are handed out individually, including playoffs. I have worked very hard the past several years, and have become (by all accounts) among the better officials within my HS association. My association was assigned multiple playoff games in each round (8-4-2 so far) with the state finals still to be determined though like past years, I'm sure our association will get 1 of the state final games.
Despite being among the better officials in my HS group, I have not been given a playoff assignment this year (first time in 4 years). I know the numbers don't add up to being able to get every official on the field for the playoffs each year, but I was really hoping to not only get a playoff game this year, but to work the state final. I worked a number of high-profile games this season without incident, so I know my assignor trusts me to do a good job.
With no word from my assignor, and only the state final left to assign, should I contact him and ask him why I have not been assigned to any playoff games? I know every official feels they deserve the big game, and I am not one to complain about my schedule, but I've been sitting by the phone the last three weeks hoping for a call I never received. I'd hate to question his judgement, but I know that I am a better official than a number of the people that received a playoff game this year. Then again, perhaps due to me working several high-profile [regular season] games, those were considered my playoff games, and now it's someone else turn???
Should I contact my assignor, or just sit and wait another week?
