In Indiana, the coach's vote is the primary factor in whether you get assigned to a particular round of the playoffs. Geography, history, and rating also plays a factor in which game you get. Higher rated officials are going to get the more competitive games.
We also have an all-in format where every team plays. Round 1 has almost as many games (some byes do exist) as a regular season game. There were 161 crews apply for the tournament and 156 first round games so almost everyone works at least 1 round.
