In the Ft. Worth area, more districts are going to 3 whistles for varisty but that is still the exception.
If you do not know, in Texas we have divisions (5) that officials fall into based on years of service, test scores, etc. I strongly suggest you get documentation for the games you have worked, camps and rules clinics you have attended, etc. so you can give it to the chapter. No need to uncessecarily start out in Division 5.
You get 1 point for each game at sub varsity, 2 pts. for varsity, 25 points for attending the state meeting, etc. (max of 100 pts a year - split 50/50 between education and game experience)
Div. 5 = 0-74 pts.
Div. 4 = 75-299 pts.
Div. 3 = 300-749 pts.
Div. 2 = 750-1499 pts.
Div. 1 = 1500+ pts.
For all practicle purposes, you will work mostly sub-varsity until you get to Div. 3 (possibly upper Div. 3) and no play-off assignment until you are well into Div. 2.
They also use officials from neutral chapters for playoffs. So if you are a member in Ft. Worth...you probably will get playoff games in west Texas (4-5 hour drive)...which means a full day off work to meet the rest of the crew and drive to the game. We even had officials from our chapter call a game between two Texas schools (one in El Paso area, the other from the Panhandle) and the game was played in New Mexico.
