Thanks to TexDoc for once again doing the playoff assignment spreadsheet. I doubt there is another state with as many playoff games as we have in Texas. Doc does a great job pulling it all together for us zebras!! tiphat: tiphat: tiphat:
If you notice any errors or holes you can fill, let us know!

Not an error, but Cherokee vs Calvert is PV Chapter. I will be there!
-
Thanks. That's the only chapter that I cannot get info for. Let me know if there are other games Pecan Valley has.
-
Thanks for your work on this.
-
Thanks Doc for doing this each season. tiphat:
-
Thanks Doc.
Just FYI, I have Oakwood playing Aquilla, not Abbott. Chapter is correct.
Thanks
-
First round is always messy and needs a lot of cleanup. Keep the corrections coming.
-
Thanks, TexDoc! I look forward to this spreadsheet every playoff season, now. Everyone have a great week 1!
-
I was kind of curious to see how we fared compared to some of the chapters that were more "agreeable" to Mr. Timmons' courting. It actually doesnt look too bad, all in all, fairly equitable.
-
Thanks for this another year, TexDoc.
Wahoo, I see my game.

Well, the UIL will do what it takes to prevent the playoff schedule from being presented as evidence, I'd imagine.

Columbus and Smithville at Merrill Green Stadium, Bryan , TX.

Gotta brag on my little chapter in Tyler. We have a total of 19 crews and 16 have a playoff game this weekend! That's 84%!
-
North Forney / Will Point is a Tyler Chapter game.
-
I wish California would do a program like this. CIF decides who plays in the state championship games. No true playoffs above section level.
-
Just wondering, if you know or can find out, how many total public school playoff games are there in California each year?
-
Mike,
Best I can tell there will be 775 playoff games in California. It is not easy to figure out because there is not a single website with the all the play off info. Each of the 10 sections has their own playoffs and not all the sections have the playoff info on their websites.
After the section playoffs are complete the CIF will pick teams to play in the 5 state championship games. It is a terrible system.

Wow! Only 584 in Texas (and almost everyone goes to the playoffs!! ;-) )
-
Mike, does that 584 include private schools?
-
Nope That is why I asked him for the public school numbers. Trying to compare apples and apples
-
Since CA has around 37M people compared to 25M in Texas, this should not be that surprising.
-
Hello!!! It IS California. Thought they would be more into soccer, volleeyball, frisbee golf, surfing, etc

Football is getting bigger every year here. A lot of our local teams (Sacramento Area) are playing out of state now.They are doing quite well. I would love to see how we stack up against Texas teams but the rules thing would be a problem.
Soccer is big but not high school soccer. HS soccer is a joke out here. All the best soccer players play club.
Surfing is not a HS sanctioned sport in California although Hawaii sanctioned it this year so maybe soon.

Those numbers include private schools. There is no way to differentiate them as the all play in the same leagues. Probably about 10% of the schools are private.

Texas schools play Oklahoma, LoserINiana and Florida schools now. They deal with the rule differences usually by using rules of home school.

Perhaps but the sectional champions are usually considered the actual ones. The State Bowl gig is a newer thing. And at least California has the good sense not to let the inmates run the asylum...I mean let coaches pick their own crews!

Then just who does undertake that rigorous assignment out there? The Sectional Chiefs? The Educational Sector? A College-Type Commissioner? Who? No matter who ends up running the "asylum," albeit Commissioners, Coaches, or Whoever, I'm afraid that the politics is always going to be there! In my 33 years of football officiating experience, I'd much rather have a collective group of coaches running things than I would to be beheld to just one assignment commissar, if you will! z^
-
The teams are selected by the Section Commissioners. Not really sure how the select the teams. Usually each game has one team from Southern California and one Team from NorCal.
As far as selected officials for playoffs, our association works with the assigner to set up the crews and there is definitely politics involved.
Officials for the state games are selected by CIF by an application process. Minimum requirements are 10 years as an official and worked a section championship game. The 25 slots are spread over the ten sections.

Doc has updated the sheet for week 2. Looks like 2 games are still available if someone wants to work them
-
SA chapter...6 gms round 2 good gracious. Guess i should move to Hou or Lubbock.
-
They are saving you for the more important later round games :sTiR:
-
since I have been doing this, 2003, this is the lowest game total SA has had in the second round. It has a lot to do with realignment, but for some reason we are not getting the valley games like we used to. Kind of frustrating, but that's how the ball bounces. Hopefully it picks up in round 3.
-
You're prob right, Mike. Mr. Timm-ah (http://cf.sketchfu.com/u/medium/0/5293.jpg) is saving my knees for that game in a few weeks in Jerry World.
-
Dallas' assignment sheet doesn't reflect Lovelady-Alto in 1A-1.
How did SA lose Warren/Churchill to Dallas? It's never good to lose games between your schools.
-
It happens although i do find it odd.
Aledo v Mansfield Summit went to Tyler for some reason.
Who knows ???
-

You are correct. Alto went to SFA Chapter.
Not sure how SA lost that game but I suspect one coach may have been unhappy with a call or two. Who knows. Coaches can be quite paranoid.
-
I know if it was going to be Wagner vs Warren it was coming to Houston. They had already called in. Wagner lost though.
-
TexDoc,
You didn't happen to have the Hebron/Guyer game last week at Jerry's World last week. There was some rumblings about a 4th down spot late in the game.

TexDoc,

No sir, I was in Groesbeck, Texas, home of the Goats, for a 2A game! I heard a couple of things about that game but not sure about any of it. Would like to see video.
-
I also heard things. Just curious about the real story (or at least the officials' one).
-
I had the game. I would be happy to entertain the masses.
What have we heard ?
As far as the spot, knee down position of the ball at that time. The runner reached out as he was going down.
-
That is probably the play. The comment came from a civilian, that's why I asked. They probably just saw the ball reach out after the knee.
-
No love for Dallas this week (#3). Got just 2 games and none at 3A and above including the one game that was Dallas/Dallas (Sherman/Rockwall-Heath).
-
Maybe if you guys would start wearing placards, you'd get some games. ;D

Has the spreadsheet been updated yet? :)

just saw the box score...19 penalties for 130 yards by 1 team ?? ?? Sounds like a ton of 5 yarders. What were they doing?
-
14 presnap penalties, defense making contact/offense false starts, 6 soph starters
they lined up clean, but were aggressive early. teams settled down. The game went 2 OT, it was the teams that decided it.
If you hear anything we welcome it, always looking for ways to get better.
Happy Thanksgiving to All !!!
-
Aside from stuff on the spot, just the general nonspecific fan stuff, i.e. worse crew I have ever seen, yadi yadi yadi....Nobody has offered up any video "proof" of anything so may just be typical fanboy stuff.
-
Good to hear, Thought I might have to crawl up on the big screen at Jerry's place and see if could land on my feet.
Congrats on your playoff assignment-Good Luck !!
-
Has the spreadsheet been updated yet? :)
If so, I've not seen it. But Houston got 21, including 2 crews that landed doubles.
The crew that did the Allen/Trinity game is now up to 7 in 3 rounds.
-
I think that would be 9 in 3 rounds....
-
Just sent the brackets to Mike for week 3. He will let us know when he gets them posted.
-

Good one. Maybe you have one there. I'll spread the word to all crews to get their placards out. ;D
-

Sorry, somehow I counted 1 week twice. Should have been 7 games in 3 rounds.
2 in week 1
3 in week 2
2 in week 3
Don't think they even wear placards.

It's Houston's world. The rest of us are just squirrells trying to get a nut ;D

This playoff season is DOMINATED by a very small group of crews.

Any in-site on how the chapter is picked? Does one school get to pick the place and the other the officials, just curious. I would think if they cant agree on the Chapter it goes to the UIL. Shame the Austin guys don't have this game.

It is a shame. What you want to do is tell them to go find a chapter for all of their regular season games, sub varsity and all, next year. We all know the UIL would never support that.
-
Just noticed something that made me chuckle...we have that other thread about the La Marque/Ozen brawl and how today both sides are blaming officials. Who did they request for this weeks' game? Same chapter....
-

I suggested that to a member of our board. Between the two of them, The have like 8 JV teams, 22 Freshman teams, 48 8th grade teams and 196 7th grade teams, so I figured the mileage from SA or Killeen might bankrupt one of them.
Don't think the board's gonna go for it, though.
-

The game you're referencing is La Marque v Manvel. Those are both schools that use the Houston chapter.
It seems natural that they would use the Houston chapter.
-
Still funny. They're b***ing and moaning about how horrible the officials were in that game but when they have a chance to get other officials, they dont do it. Maybe those releases they issued were just for the public face because they knew they screwed up? I'd actually be OK with that. I dont mind the fans hating and blaming me for all their woes.
-
From what I have seen, the team doing all the bellyaching is Ozen, and they lost. I havent seen anything from LaMarque. I might have missed something though.

If I were on the board, there's no way I would tell the schools anything but that we'll be back for next year. You don't want to give up this many games for your younger officials and crews that want to work early season subvarsity games together. Not to mention you are creating hard feelings where there weren't any and torching bridges is not a good idea for anyone.
Don't screw your chapter with idiotic, emotional decisions based on who a coach picked for a playoff game. There are legit reasons to tell a school to go jump in the lake. Not getting picked for a game, even if your chapter works both schools, is nowhere near one of them.

I can agree with that to a point, but the coach needs a stern phone call or a visit from a chapter leader reminding him that the chapter supports his program all year and that going outside of the chapter when playing a school that uses the same chapter is really inappropriate and leaves the impression that the coach does not reciprocate the support the chapter has provided. No threats, no innuendos, just facts. Then remind him that his program is at the bottom of the list for coverage and that all other schools will be covered before those in his program. If the chapter runs short officials, his will be the first school to be without.
-

I've got really bad news for you: he isn't going to care. The chapter doesn't "support" the program; the chapter provides a service for a fee.
Instead of organizing a meeting with the coach, why don't you organize a clinic or training session to make your officials better? A really good chapter is going to make it hard for the coach not to use in the future.

A bit rude of you to infer that the chapter just doesn't have good officials. How do you know? Have you worked in the Austin Chapter? I'm not there now, but I can tell you they have officials just as good as anyone in the state! I spent 7 years on that chapter. The problem is not with the officials, the problem is with the coach. And we do offer a service that supports their football program. I would like to see them play the games with coaches officiating.

Yeah, Doc! I'd have to say that I'd quickly part with American greenbacks just to witness that for myself! z^

Coach A wanted to use Joe's crew and Coach B wanted to use Jims crew. Rather than accept what the other wanted the go "pot luck" with someone neither has ever used.

Ah, the magic of the Texas playoffs! Tonight, a crew from Houston has journeyed to Mansfield, just south of Dallas-Fort Worth, for a 7:30 ball game. After officiating a high competitive upper level game and (hopefully, for the benefit of their crewmates) a quick shower, they'll jump into cars to travel 250 miles south to Houston. Approximately 9 hours after arriving back in Houston, this group of middle-aged+ guys will be in the dressing room at Galena Park ISD Stadium to work a 2 pm playoff game, their second contest in less than 18 hours.
I guess I'd have to have brain surgery to understand the thought process of the coaches involved OR the Houston Chapter "leadership" on this matter. But a more pointed question is directed to those five individuals who apparently have the excellent judgment skills to officiate these two games back-to-back -- Did you ever consider turning back one of the assignments and encouraging all involved to select another capable crew?
-
That's nothing. I know of a crew that worked a game at Noon last Saturday, drove 90 miles and worked a second game that day starting at 7:30.
-
Oink!! Such behavior can't be justified by any standard. Even IF they're the "best crew in the state" (and this is highly subjective), they can't be at anywhere near peak performance in a second game in 24 hours.
-
A bit rude of you to infer that the chapter just doesn't have good officials.
Nothing rude at all, since I didn't say or come close to inferring that. On the other hand, its a bit arrogant of you to assume your chapter doesn't need any further training. I'll take all I can get.
The problem is not with the officials, the problem is with the coach.
Look, you can think what you want. But if this is your attitude, why don't you just quit? You're never going to convince the coach of this, so do something productive instead: get better. That doesn't imply that you or anyone else is bad, just that we all can use improvement. Take this as a challenge to work harder and let the results speak for themselves.
I'm sorry, but blaming others for your issues isn't going to help you. And yes, that's exactly what you're doing. If the Austin chapter was as good as you say it is, why did the coaches go outside? I don't think the coaches are going to settle for what they know would be a worse group of officials simply because they fear one crew or one crew chief knows the other coach better than he/they know him.
I'm in a chapter that doesn't get what we feel are our "fair" share of games. My response: yes, we need to see what efforts we might make with the coaches, but before we do that, we need to get better. We need to get our butts in better shape, learn the rules better, quit screwing up penalty enforcements, and get more consistent among crews. Among many other things.
Besides, did it ever dawn on you that while the Austin chapter missed out on the game you referenced, at one time or another they benefitted from that same scenario that took place with another chapter?
-
Okay, you're obviously a troll. Go away.
-
Name calling when you're proven wrong? And you're really an official?
Whatever. Nobody is going to read my post and come to your conclusion, but if it makes you feel better, so be it.
-
If you didn't so grossly misinterpret and misread what I wrote, I might have a conversation with you. But thanks, you've shown you aren't capable of that.
-
I'm not going to continue this on a forum. You can email me.
I didn't misrepresent anything. I posted your quote and responded.
Its obvious I struck a nerve and hurt your feelings. That wasn't my intention, but I really can't believe you are this sensitive to criticism. Sheesh. And personal attacks aren't going to enhance your reputation any. You called me a troll and then said I'm incapable of conversation? Really, how silly is that?
-
Troll. Look it up on Wikipedia.
-
I know what it means. You're the one that looks silly.
-
That's nothing. I know of a crew that worked a game at Noon last Saturday, drove 90 miles and worked a second game that day starting at 7:30.
Well, at least the Houston Chapter wouldn't allow that. 1 game/day limit. You can have 3 in a weekend, but has to be 3 days.
-

I doubt any of the regular posters on here would ever say their chapter or any other chapter does not need any further traning, and that is NOT what Doc is saying.
You, on the other hand, are directly saying the reason the Chapter did not get the game was because of some deficiency. What facts do you base that on? As Rick pointed out above, there are reasons why coaches will go outside the Chapter that have NOTHING to do with the Chapter's overall abilities. Possibilities:
1 - Each one had his own list of preferred officials in the Chapter and they were totally different lists. Since they could not agree within that Chapter, they went to another. By going to another the coaches are in effect saying they trust the other Chapter will have competent officials but they know that neither one of them will have any "influence" over the crew.
2 - The officials they could agree on were already committed to other games or were otherwise unavailable.
3 - They know they will not be able to use their own Chapter in later rounds and want to go ahead and start using officials from other Chapters now.
These are the same 2 coaches who have some sort of agreement between themselves that resulted in the chains being operated on the home team sideline.
Bottom line, trying to comprehend coach reasoning is a lot like trying to understand why women do what they do. Good luck and it ain't always what it seems.
-
You, on the other hand, are directly saying the reason the Chapter did not get the game was because of some deficiency.
I never said that there was a deficiency. What I said was that there was OBVIOUSLY a reason the coach didn't pick the Austin chapter. Why? Who knows. It could be something very stupid on his (or their) part(s). What I did say, and what I still believe is that we ALL should take these sorts of things as a challenge to work harder, get better, and make any reasonable decision on future playoff assignments easy for coaches. If they aren't going to be reasonable, then there's nothing we can do about it. But I didn't figure I really needed to emphasize such an obvious point. I also didn't figure I needed to point out that if coaches aren't going to be reasonable, there isn't any point in going and talking to them. I figured Doc was smart enough to know all that.
I NEVER SAID THAT THE COACHES' REASONS WERE JUSTIFIED AND THEREFORE AUSTIN SUCKS. I don't believe either statement (or anything close to them) to be true. You can't argue on one hand that "we all need to get better" is a valid point but on the other hand saying that with respect to Austin and this particular playoff assignment is somehow insulting the chapter. If its valid for one person its valid for everyone and it doesn't insult anyone.
I didn't get a state title game this year (or probably won't -- not holding my breath anyway). Does that mean there's a deficiency in my game? I don't think of it as a deficiency (i.e. a point where I screw up continuously), but I do take it as a challenge to get better for next year starting now. My crew was told by a coach he would likely pick us for a playoff game. That didn't happen. I'm going to work my butt off so next time I work his game, we'll leave no doubt he should pick us. At least, that's what I'll try to do.
Bottom line, trying to comprehend coach reasoning is a lot like trying to understand why women do what they do.
I couldn't agree with you more here. But you left out three key points in the discussion: the part where Doc suggested someone go talk to the coach -- as stated earlier, why would that do any good if the reasons for not picking the chapter aren't reasonable? Also, the part where I stated that I am in a chapter that, mathematically at least, doesn't get what we think our fair share of the playoff games are, yet my view is not to complain about it but work harder and make the choice obvious. Lofty goal? Perhaps, but I have a habit of setting (and sometimes reaching) lofty goals. Finally, the point about Austin benefitting in the past from a similar situation in another chapter. I'm sure you would agree with me that this situation had to have occurred at one point in time or another. You seem to be focusing on points I didn't make and ignoring points I did.
Look, I don't want to ruin this thread more than it is -- and I'll take partial responsibility for that. But I didn't start this. So please, continue this discussion by message on here. I still don't understand why the defensiveness to the idea of "we all need to get better" exists, or to the idea that coaches picks may not make sense so we need to take that as a challenge to work harder. I'm sorry but that is NOT denigrating anyone, and it baffles me that you would argue it is.
But even with all that, calling me a troll is hardly productive and just as unreasonable as any actions any coach might have made that Doc is complaining about. You have a hard time trying to make the point that I'm blasting the Austin chapter, which is a bad thing on my part, but its OK for you to blast me. I don't care what I'm called, but I was hoping we could keep a mature level of discussion on here.

How long have you been officiating? You don't know what was going on there?
-
25+ years, multiple sports. I know exactly what was going on. But he did use our chapter (he uses another one for home games) and I was told by our assignment committee that we were in the mix. We got another game that week.

You knew what was going on yet you used the non-selection as a reason why you needed to work harder? While I agree we probably all need to work harder and can improve by doing so, I certainly would not use a non-selection as a reason why i need to do so.

Sad state of affairs when we work to meet the expectations of coaches. I'm not a judge - I don't even play one on tv. But, I'm pretty certain they don't concern themselves about what the prosecutors and defendants think about their ability to serve as their judge. Oh, yeah, but then, prosecutors and defendents don't get to pick their judges. Hmmm. Which system is defective...

So you're comparing the US Justice System to the UIL? Seems pretty appropriate to me

Sorry! But I'd have to take a chance on rolling my dice with the U. S. Justice System when compared to the "jurisprudence" that tiphat: Manor Road :bOW :!# would like to richly dole out! z^

Had to make one assumption. We will see if its right.

One thing thats been bugging me a bit, why is Amarillo listed as AMI and not AMA?
-
Way to go Austin

Blame me. That's what I came up with years ago and its a pain to change all of my reports that pull from those codes, so I left it. Actually, never really thought about it.

Are you in charge of issuing airport codes by chance? ;)

Not as horrified as he was when he had to be the first enlisted guy who saluted me after I got commissioned (although he did get a silver dollar out of that deal) ;D
-
My dad was in the army and I joined the AF. It hurts my feelings not to be made fun of based on where I grew up!
On a side note, this is only the 2nd State Championship ever for the Amarillo Chapter.
-
One correction to note.
College Station is not working the Port Arthur Mem / Steele game. I'm still trying to find out what chapter is working this one.
-
Correction to the correction, College Station is working the game! So my assumption was correct!
-
Better get what they can this year. Aren't they moving to the SEC next year?

And I believe the first one was a split crew, if I am not mistaken. Boggs and Otis for AM

Rick it was a full crew from here then.

2003 6 Man Final, AMI worked Fort Davis vs Strawn.

Lol, no.
Was a fantastic game and an experience I will never forget.
-
Houston got the 3A game this weekend.
-
Lubbock got the 4A.
-
Which one?
-
All I know is 4A Saturday at Cowboys stadium.
-
LBK has the*Manvel/ Aledo game
-
Tyler has the 4A Div.I and the 5A Div.I games
-
What shirts will they be wearing? LOL
-
I can assure you that they will NOT be wearing the 2" stripe shirt!
-
Here's what I've heard so far:
SLC / FBH - Tyler
Dekaney / Steele - ?
Midway / LT - Tyler
Aledo / Manvel - South Plains
Argyle / Wimberley - Houston
Melissa / Hempstead - Centex
Cisco / Refugio - Dallas
Stamford / Mason - Dallas
Munday / Teneha - Austin
I do not know how accurate this is at this point. More to come.
-
Waco has the Dekaney/Steele game....
