That equals out to 2 crews and if they give recommendations to crews that haven't worked for them that year then that means 9 crews worked hard for them and got nothing.
Please post how your state handles post season.

This statement is not exactly correct. The coaches do not vote for crews. Our Umpire got 5 votes and the Head Linesman 16. Many times we were told by the coaches after the games what a great job we did and how we were the best crew they had all year. Go figure. Just check the state programs for the past 5 years and see the number of repeat officials that get the assignment. Recently, there was one who worked an eight-man final that didn't do one eight-man game all year. I would like to see a rest period for an assignment from one year to the next. If you get a final one year, you are "rested" for a year to allow those other officals a chance to do the finals. IMHO
