CT Tournament

In Connecticut, the coaches "vote" in the state tournament officials. Believe it or not, they always select the best officials to do their games. Just to give you full disclosure, I did not get selected this year, but I've been to six or seven games over the past three weeks to watch my colleagues work, and they are considered to be the best officials on our board, by their ratings, of which 80% is based on ratings from their fellow officials. The "cream seems to rise to the top". Both coaches and officals seem to agree on who the best officials are. I know that it's hard to believe, but it's true. There's not a single official on the tournament list who would get a "Why is he or she on the tournament list?" from me.
