NC
Must be a Class 1 or 2 official (out of 4) and attend the state clinic. Your class is based on an assigned point value for the NFHS test score, local meeting attendance, state clinic attendance, association meetings, years of experience, scrimmages worked, and games worked.
We have 5 rounds with 4 divisions that are subdivided into Class 1-4A and 1-4 AA for 8 total state championships. Getting a first round game isn't very difficult. Its little more than an additional conference game for most schools as NC has gone to a "pod system" to reduce travel for schools. Several years ago we began keeping officials local for the first two rounds.
Top seeded teams are the home team. In rounds 1 & 2, the top seeded team's local booking agent assigns the officials. From rounds 3 through the finals, the booking agents submit a list and the state office selects neutral crews and assigns the officials. State finals are held at UNC, NC State, and Wake Forest and the divisions are rotated amongst the host universities.
Coaches have no bearing on our assignments in NC beyond the complaint calls to the state office or booking agent and limited designated mark-offs. They have no role in our evaluations.
