With post season about to start I just wanted to see how your state picks officials to work these games.

It is almost impossible to answer directly as many of those answers apply. And the most important element is not even a choice.

You might want to redo your poll.

Peace

You can add as many things as you like, it will not change the fact that many of these things apply to me and I am sure others based on what I have read. For example we are observed by our state office and we have a rating system where coaches/schools have input.

In Indiana, the coaches/AD's have the sole vote as to who works and how many games a crew works in the tournament. Each school can rate a crew that they have had work one of their games in the last 3 years. Those ratings 1-5 (5 being best) are averaged to calculate a crews rating. Then the crews are ranked and that determines what you work along with the level of playoff the crew worked the previous year.

Basketball is done exactly the same way except for individual officials.

In Texas, the coaches get to choose their crews. If there is disagreement, they can ask the UIL to assign a chapter to pick a crew.

Worst possible system in the country. There appears to be a change on the horizon however.
