Larry, All our work in my association is done by crew. To do a play-off game, it's all about who you know. I'm a second year referee and I know guys that have 20+ years (and they get no play-off games) and my crew gets one play-off game a year. It's not fair, I agree. You have a bunch of experienced officials sitting at home and only a few of the top officials and their friends get games!! NOT FAIR, even though I'm in the system already.....
