Most chapters get 1 or 2 regionals (both boys and girls) -- 4 teams with 3 games on a friday night/saturday -- that they are responsible for assigning. The girls start playoffs a week ahead of the boys, thus their regional and state tournaments are a week earlier. The chapters that get the regional assignments are given areas away from their geographical area. For example, Houston might work the Dallas area regionals, while Dallas might work the San Antonio area regionals (etc).
State tournament games are assigned based on, I think, evaluators who scan the regional play. However, those working the state tournament work essentially a 3 year assignment window. We have three guys in our chapter this year who are in the third year of their state tournament assignment. So the state tournament assignments are set.

Actually, all games UP TO the Regional Tournaments are handled by request of coaches or the UIL, and the assignments are filled by Chapter Assigning Secretaries or Chapter Boards. The Regional Tournaments and State Tournament are filled by the University Interscholastic League (UIL) Athletic Directors. The Regional Tournament assignments are based on, or rather chosen from, a top 25% list that is submitted to the UIL by each Chapter Board. So, the CHAPTER is awarded a Regional Tournament (site is determined by the UIL), and the UIL also determines which officials will go to that Regional Tournament based on that Chapter's Top 25% List.
Hope that isn't too confusing.
