KY is one of very few states where there is only 1 class of basketball. KY is divided into 16 regions. Louisville has 2 regions. The single regional winners advance to Rupp Arena for the "Sweet 16." The officiating is 3 person. Officials cannot referee a game of the team(s) from the region they represent. For example, a referee from Louisville cannot work the teams from the 2 regions from Louisville at Rupp. The officials also cannot work for the school that they may have graduated from either.
