Camron, could you clarify what that assignment means. Does that mean he will be working the State Championship game or does that mean he is working a level close to the State Championship game?

Peace
Our process selects 19 official to travel to the various final tournament sites....where 8 teams in each classification (6A-largest, 5A, 4A, 3A, 2A, 1A-smallest) play a single elimination bracket (plus consolation games) for the state championship. Unless I'm mistaken, there are 12 officials at each tournament. Our allotment, based on the proportion of the schools we serve in each classification gives us 6, 6, 1, 2, 2, and 2 in each tournament.

As for Jim's tourney, the 5A and 6A boys play seperate brackets the same site. So, the 6 we send, along with the other 6 from the rest of the state, work the quarterfinals, semi-finals, and finals for both brackets. There are only 4 games the first day so only 8 work on Wednesday, but there are 6 games on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, so all 12 work those days....everyone gets either 3 or 4 games. The first couple of days of games (quarterfinals and some consolation games) are predetermined but the semis/finals assignments are determined at the tourney.
