No such classification here. 90 officials each year work state in WI and all are state officials and receive a plaque (and a star to put on a plaque). On your 2nd through 5th state assignments across all sports you get a star to add to that plaque. In basketball, all crews work 1 game at state, either a semifinal or a final. 5 divisions, 2 genders - 30 total state games across two weekends.

You get a new plaque on your 6th state assignment across all sports and every fifth thereafter.

Had I been given a uniform patch to wear (impossible here since, thankfully, we wear no patches at all) I wouldn't have worn it. I have 2 baseball game hats that say STATE with the year on the back from my two state assignments that I could wear for games (they are legal game hats) and I'd feel like a tool wearing them in a game. Baseball there are only 12 umpires assigned statewide (only 4 new umpires annually) and in the two years I went I worked 11 games.
