Playoff conversation???

I was wondering if officials on this site or it is common that you (or a social group of you) try to figure out who is going where and where they might be going? We also have "unofficial" websites that track where officials are going in both football and basketball and people spend a lot of time either tracking or trying to figure out what might happen. I was just wondering is that common or do people not care?

Here everything other than the state semis and finals is posted for any official to see.

We see who are partners are, but we do not necessarily see who is working in places we are not working personally. That information is tracked by websites. It is not really a secret because people tell everyone where they are working.

State officials here are selected by the VHSL. Only those officials plus the commissioners are privy to assignments.

District and regional assignments are made by commissioners.

We were told today who made the list for post season assignments, I was blessed to make the list, not sure I will get an assignment, it depends on when and where the games are.

The board names the top 15 officials ( in Alpha order ) for regional games. And we had 8 qualify for Md. state tourney and 3 for W.Va state tourney.

I've had the honor of 5 postseason assignments so far. 2 district and 3 Regionals. We still have three more weeks to go. Small school state tournament is in 2 weeks with the big schools the following.

California Interscholastic Federation Southern Section-
Assignments are handled by the section office.Very rarely will an official get to work a game in his/her home area.For example our school is part of the Inland Unit of the Southern California Basketball Officials Association:I have seen officials from the following areas get our playoff games at home:Foothill-Citrus,Desert Valley,Orange County,South Orange County,and San Gabriel.We had the same crew out of San Gabriel in the quarters two years in a row.

We get an email from our local association encouraging everyone to show up and support those officials who have received playoff assignments.
