Failure to do so make it seem a bit curious to me that they were selected to work play-off games. I'm not saying the officials are not of a high enough standard to work play-off games, I've never met them or seen them work a complete game, but this video does strongly gives me the impression they are not play-off material.

And you are qualified to evaluate whether they are playoff material based on?!?!

Washington State allocates state tournament berths using a formula that takes into account the number of certified officials in the association and how many member schools the association uses. So this association was given x number of berths at the various state tournaments. It is up to the association to submit the names of qualified officials who are then approved by the WOA and the WIAA. Unless there was a whole lot more than just this one game on these officials resume, there is no reason for them to be excluded from consideration for state tournaments.
