Back to the all female crews please

[Tee]

"I just want to point out something about the original post in this thread. After reading the article about Violet Palmer, and the superior "people skills" of women in general, the IHSAA decided to use only female officials for all their Illinois state-sanctioned postseason games, including the boys' games. So I wanted to congratulate all the female officials who are working the Illinois post-season this year. Way to go, ladies!!

Is this a joke? if not, I have some questions:

Is this the main state tourney for Ill. ?

What sort of rationalization/logic was used to make this decision?
