That is similar to how it works in Oregon, except we're selected as individuals.
We still work 2 person crews at the state tournament level. For each classification, 12 officials are needed. The 12 are provided by the associations around the state proportional to the number of schools serviced by each association at that classification. For each classification, the boys and girls play at the same site over a 3 or 4 day period starting at the quarter finals. Every official will get at least 1 quarter final, maybe 2. 8 of the 12 will get semis. 4 will get championships.
4 day format (1 court):
- Day 1: Girls Quarterfinals....8 officials work
- Day 2: Girls Consolation bracket Semifinals & Boys Quarterfinals...12 officials work
- Day 3: Boys Consolation bracket Semifinals & Boys & Girls Semifinals....12 officials work
- Day 4: Boys and Girls Consolation Bracket finals, 3rd place games & Championship games 12 officials work.
All officials work the last 3 days....so you could have 3 or 4 days in a row.
3 day format (2 courts):
- Day 1: Boys & Girls Quarterfinals....12 officials work, 4 work twice
- Day 2: Boys & Girls Consolation bracket Semifinals & Boys & Girls Semifinals...12 officials...4 work twice
- Day 3: Boys and Girls Consolation Bracket finals, 3rd place games & Championship games....12 officials work.
All officials work all 3 days....some working twice in a day but never more than 4 games total. When it is twice in day, there are several hours between the assignments.
