We used a different method to select the playoff officials this year and we believe it was very well done, by all. All includes the VQ officials and the committee.
96% of our VQ officials submitted nominations. Of those 22 officials submitted fewer than 10 names.

Only 2 officials did not receive any nominations, 4 received only 1 nomination and 3 received only 2. The highest individual total for any 1 official was 20 and 31 officials received 10 or more nominations.
Six NVQ officials received nominations including a first year official who received 2 nominations. None were considered.
We considered 61 names for the total playoff list. Two did not submit, 3 are not eligible (transfer/dual), 2 who did not receive any nominations, 2 have removed themselves from the list, 1 did not qualify (10 games), others did not work HS basketball.
The committee met on Saturday, January 26, 2008 at APU beginning at apx. 8:45 and ending 11:50.
The playoff bucket range was set at 100%-41% of partners nominated (42 officials). 2 Officials received nominations from 100% of their partners. There was no statistical advantage to the number of partners or number of nominations to being in the bucket.
Officials were then ranked by the committee from 1-42. All but three rankings were discussed. We also selected three 3-person crews for CIF.
We added an alternate list for CIF because the first and second rounds still has people working college basketball and we need to have a few more names just in case we needed an official or two. The Alternate range was 37%-27% (11 officials). None were used.
Regardless of the outcome all but a few officials understood and or accepted the outcome. I, as the IC, was pleased with the entire process.
