tournament selection

[rainmaker]

Im not sure of all the details in Oregon, except that each association sends a certain number, and each association chooses who they send. Our association uses a formula that includes voting by the coaches and also by the membership of the association. I know that if you've worked a tournament two years in a row, from our association, you have to sit out a year. But then you are eligible to go back into the rotation. Once selected to work the tourney, a ref gets at least four games, possibly five. I'm not sure what the rules are about the championship game -- whether once you've done it once you're out forever, or not.

But actually this year, the whole tournament is going to be structured differently, so that there will be half as many games. I have no idea what that will do to the reffing situation.
