In Illinois, it is pretty much the same as in Indiana. The IHSA assigns the playoff games. Senior officials with better ratings, higher test scores, and advanced promotion levels get first crack at playoff games. Illinois has a rating system and 3 levels of promotion. From lowest to higher they are: Registered, Recognized, and Certified. To get the the highest level, you must pass a two-hour(?) closed book exam with at least a 90%(?) or something like that.
All right, too much info for the question you asked. Suffice to say, our State Association assigns playoff games.
