postseason, votes, and technicals

[dbking]

I have worked in a number of states due to real job. I will give them the ranking that I perceive them to be with some editorial remarks.

KY - Assigning is a state run thing for all games by region. You can only work your region. B+ Playoff assigning process is done by region assigner / state, B+

CT - IAABO is the ruling organization and have a fantastic rating system used for assigning games and playoff, A+ ( a lot of work to tabulate and evaluate )

IL - You have seen the details. From my perspective, home grown officials in local associations and some associations skew results. It is very difficult to move in from out of state and be seen by enough assignors and leagues. I worked in suburban Chicago area and had schedules from 8 assignors. Difficult process to manage. Assigning, C- State Playoff, C+

KS - Assigning is all done by conference. Many fewer schools that IL. I work for one HS assignor who has 31 schools. Plenty of opportunity, decent ball, B+. State playoff assignment, C-
