Seems like it could cause some scheduling conflicts not knowing if you are working a final until after the semis and also seems to limit the pool of officials getting games. Does seem to have the potential to reward the best officials based on performance in the state playoffs.

At least in Texas, this is not an issue as the semi-finals for three of the six classes are played on Thursday with the remainder played on Friday. Finals are played on Saturday. All games at the same arena (Alamodome in San Antonio this year). The officials are all at the same site so the only travel is from the hotel to the arena. And, since they have selected the officials for the semi-finals the size of the pool will never change.
