how does your state hand out post season

[shocker]

I am just curious how other states work postseason football. In Kansas it works like this.

You have to score at least a 90% on an open book test.
You have to complete a rules meeting online and attend 2 area supervisors meetings.
You then have to submit a postseason application.
After that it is out of your hands and in the state's hands. Post season is based on how many recommendations you received from coaches, ad's and area supervisors.

This method has become very controversial here and changes need to be made or Kansas will be losing some good officials at a time when officials are getting hard to find. Some officials are getting recommendations from coaches they haven't worked for, for years. The coach only has to give 10 recommendations and I am pretty sure they don't go beyond that. That equals out to 2 crews and if they give recommendations to crews that haven't worked for them that year then that means 9 crews worked hard for them and got nothing.

Please post how your state handles post season.
