The officials aren't from different regions. It's the same region.

Again, not necessarily.

Polish......just what I thought!!!!!

Honestly I don't think the OHSAA has a system. They just get them from wherever. Whatever Denny Morris wants to do.

They use refs from different regions for the regionals.

As moe said, that's not always true. One thing the OHSAA does do is have officials who will be working a state game together work a regional game together, particularly if they are from different regions.

District Board selects Sectional and Districts, based on votes. Regional and State are selected by "people in the know."

This is how officials are selected for tournament games.

There are six components to the OHSAA officials tournament selection process: average coach ratings; a favorite 15 officials list from athletic directors; a favorite 15 list from assigners; a favorite 15/30 list from local associations (those with 125 members or less provide us with 15 names); a favorite 15 officials list from each district athletic board member and a favorite 15 list from the OHSAAClass.OHSAA. The coaches ratings average is used as a multiplier with the number of times an official was placed on a favorite 15 list. This is the official’s raw score and is used to rank officials in each district from highest to lowest.

The rankings determine the level of tournament at which an official is eligible. There is a pool of officials eligible for the state tournament and all levels below. There is a pool of officials eligible for the regional tournaments and below. And there is a pool of officials eligible for the sectional/district tournaments and below. Lastly, there are a number of officials listed as alternates for sectional tournaments. The pool of officials is approximately three times larger than the number of officials needed to work at any given level of tournaments.

All sectional and district tournament assignments are made under the supervision/direction of the district athletic boards. The regional and state tournament assignments are made under the supervision/direction of the OHSAA Commissioner’s Office. Actual assignments are made after considering additional factors such as diversity (geographic location, race, gender, and years of experience), type of regular season schedule, availability and, in some sports, position officiated. State rules interpreters and others who are knowledgeable about officials are consulted and assist in the assigning process.

Shouldn't character and respect enter into these selections somewhere???? If they are still choosing ST, I guess not.

[cameroncrazie90]

"Do as I say, not as I do" ST appearing on a commercial promoting sportsmanship, and his actual behavior during a game are total opposites.

Defer all comments to moe_szyslak,
He has been correct everytime as far as I know. There is NO big mafia type under the table dealing. All above board and done thru voting of many different groups.
