how does your state hand out post season

[dbking]

According to the state of KS, 88 of 120 crews that were eligible and requested post season assignments received post season assignments.

The first two rounds of playoffs are reserved for mostly crew assignments. There are always inequities in the playoff assignment process. I have been in several states and several sports. There is no perfect system.

Your votes will come out tomorrow and you can look at your total and the rest of your crew should be able to open up and tell you the amount of votes that you and your crew received.

You have to work within the system.

Don't even get me started on what goes on in Ohio. Let me put it this way; in a first round play-off game, I saw a 300lb back judge 20 yards behind a scoring play, and an umpire signal touchdown on a play that ended at his feet. All while men far more qualified sat home.

The football administrator assigns all playoff games by crews that we declare.

They use a 40 point Power Rating system which involves everything from your test score to camps you have attended to ratings from coaches and certified officials.

Then based on the rating system and many other factors like geography and previous experience you get playoff assignments.

In Ontario, Canada:

1. The province is divided into a number of local associations. The local associations handle up to the city championships.

2. The regional playdowns will usually involve split crews between the two local associations that are playing. The locals will then each assign the three officials for the crew.

3. For the provincial championships, the provincial body will ask all local associations to nominate two individuals to work the games and then the province will slot them into one of the five bowl games.

In Ontario, we NEVER have coaches, schools or leagues have any direct input into the selection process although anecdotal comments or complaints may affect a local associations' choices and a league may make requests for say "neutral" crews (officials from locals not from where the teams are from.)
