State Tournament Assignments

[Remington]

In ND we have a multi-faceted approach. Coaches will nominate names and subsequently vote. Then, the 8 site supervisors across the state will nominate 20 officials state wide that they feel are most qualified. Our 8 site supervisors are all good collegiate officials so their input is very valuable. Then, the state governing body will select the officials from those lists. We send 12 officials to each state tournament. Class A & B (boys and girls). We are permitted to work 3 consecutive state tournaments and then you must sit a year to help allow for new blood. I generally like our system as it allows coaches some input but won't allow for a coach to black ball a good official because the site supervisors and state governing body will have their say.
