Rut, Your point about the beer and advertising at the Big Ten tourney is hilarious! Nevada is one of the only truly free states in the nation. We can smoke, drink, gamble, shoot shotguns, and otherwise do what we want, where we want.
It is an amazing state.

As for what it means to work games at our state tournament, here's the info:
It is the last FOUR teams standing in each class. When tomegun was here, it was the last eight for the 1A and 4A and last four in the 2A and 3A, but money cutbacks have changed that.
All four classes for both the boys and girls are contested the same weekend in the same city.
So there are four teams in the 1A girls, four in the 1A boys, four in the 2A girls, ...., up to the last four teams in the 4A boys.

If your association picks you to work state you work nothing less than a semi-final. Oh, and as AAR says you get to have a fun time in the casino between games!

I think working these games is a pretty big responsibility. I truly hope to be at my best.

PS My first round regional tonight was the #6 seed (8-8 in league) upsetting the #3 seed (10-6 in league) in the boys 3A class on the road. Great game with great partners. Never more than a six point lead until the last two free throws clinched it for the visitors.


AAR had a 67-66 game in the girls 4A. He always upstages me.
