In Ohio approximately 15% of the teams make the playoffs among the 6 divisions. Thus, about 15% of the varsity (class 1) officials get assignments. Although we work in crews guring the regular season, playoff assignments are done individually. During week 3 or 4 an official may get a letter that tells him that they have met the criteria for eligibility to be selected as a playoff official. From my experience approx 90% of those getting the letter will receive an assignment. During week 8 those selected get a letter letting them know what crew they will be on. Crews range from 1 to 96. Crews 1 thru 6 get five games including a state championship game. Crews 48 thru 96 get one game. ANd so on. On Sunday after week 10 the internet will show which crew will be where, and the referees receive the info on their crews. I will not meet my crew mates until game night.
