In CA, officials work 3 person during the State Tournament, but only 2 person crews for the sectionals (at least in Northern CA).
The sectionals are assigned to the individual associations who then pick their own crews for each game. The games we officiate are "Nuetral" meaning neither or both teams are from our area, but not one in and one out of our area.
For the state tourney, each association nominates their top officials. An independent board selects from this pool and assigns each official to work one game - 1/4 final, semi-final, or final (separate for Northern and Southern CA). You are paired up with 2 officials from different sections and you don't usually find out their name until the day before your game. In fact, you don't even know where you are going until the day before your game.
The State championship officials are selected from those officials working in the NoCal and SoCal championships and are based on how well they worked that particular game.
