Do not place near a flammable source.

Here in Connecticut, the coaches, all of them, not just the ones whose teams made state tournament (40% winning percentage), vote for officials to work tournament games. The ones with the most votes, work all the way to the state finals. The officials with fewer votes, drop out as the rounds progress. Some exceptions. If both schools are from our local board, then our officials will get those games. If one school is from board A, and another is from Board B, then officials from Board C, or Board D, will work the game. Believe it or not, the coaches make excellent choices. The guys who are selected for the tournament are usually our better officials, in terms of colleague ratings, and rankings. The ones selected for state finals are usually the cream of the crop, our best officials.
