Playoffs-Crews or Individuals

[l3will]

Minnesota

9-man and 5 classes.

Each section coordinator picks the crews and that varies based on the coordinator.

The state association assigns the crews for the final three rounds in each class. 4 quarter-final games, 2 semis and the final.

To get assigned to those games the crew has to apply for state tournament assignments at the beginning of the season. Your crew must then be observed by the state association observers.

The observer must recommend the crew for consideration for assignment to the state tournament. The observers do contact the referee and provide a written evaluation of your crew.

Also, coaches rank the crew after each game.

The crew's application, game schedule and members is all entered online in the state association's website by the referee.

The assignments have already been announced, I think. The crews that are working the tournament in my local association already know their assignments.
