I'd like to add to Camron and Smitty's description of how officials are chosen for the State Tourneys. The process they described is how our assocation chooses the officials that we send to the tourneys.
There are six tournaments in Oregon, one per size category of schools. Associations ( I think there are 9 or 10 in Oregon) are to send a number of officials to each tourney based on the percentage of schools they serve in that size category. So our association serves about 2/5 of the 6A schools in Oregon, so we send the most officials to that size, but only two or three to some of the smaller categories where we don't serve as big a percentage as other associations. Each association chooses within themselves who to send, and different associations use different methods.
