Our local association sends a list of officials (already in crews of 3) that represents what the local association considers the best. One list for girls and another for boys. Many of the same officials are on each list but the order of the crews is often different. The FHSAA picks the officials for all games beyond local district championships. Often as the regional finals and state final four approaches, the FHSAA will break up the crews and pick and choose from the entire list. But, you always work with officials from your local association. No mixed crews. We are one of the larger associations in the state and we typically send 5-7 crews out for first round of regionals, 3-4 crews out for second round, 2 crews out for regional finals. Then 1 crew to state series (final four)and on rare occassion 2 crews to final four. It might be a semi-final or a final game. These numbers are repeated for girls and then boys playoffs which are seperated by 1 week. All district playoff games, regional games and state series games are 3 man crews, as are nearly all of our regular season games except for small schools.
