2010 Playoff Brackets

[psv]

i am kind of stunned at the number of games that HOU got this week over every one else.

It seems a bit out of proportion, even though they are the largest.

[TXMike]

If you look at the brackets it seems they have worked one or both of the teams that are in ea game they have this week.  That tells me those schools have seen the Chapter's representatives and were pleased with them so they are taking the Chapter again.  I would hope that any of us who have the chance to catch a game this weekend and happens to see them (or guys from any chapter for that matter) and who could provide constructive criticisim, would do so.  I suspect (hope) they would welcome it.  I know when we are at a game site and guys from the local area pop in to welcome us to the place I appreciate it when they are willing to offer an honest assessment as opposed to a general "you guys look great out there." 

(Not that it had any bearing on things I am sure but it used to be that the Houston Chapter had the greatest percentage of guys holding the line against the UIL.  I hope they continue doing so when they are once again in those state champ games and the funky hats get distributed)

This statement could not be any further from the truth at this point.  Thanks Doc for putting the number of officials per chapter in your report.  Houston has 21% of the games so far but has 17.5 % of the TASO population.  Using these 2 constructs as a comparison Abilene, South Plains, and College Station all have higher percents of games then they do % of TASO populations.  On the other end of the spectrum Dallas with 13% of TASO has only received 8.5% of the games ie Dallas is getting screwed.  I have no idea the historical data to compare this too, but it should be interesting moving forward.  Yes I realize that there are about 5 crews in houston that have received more assignments then 10 of the chapters.  However, once again the Houston chapter has received 0 6-man games.  For as long as I have been reading this report this is the longest drought of a chapter not receiving any love from a specific Division 1A, 2A, 3A etc. in existence.  As I would also point out by reading the posts on here we all treat every game we work as the most important game regardless of size.

I wonder what the numbers would show if the TAPPS games were included.

Certainly, it shouldn't be that difficult to get the info from all of the TAPPS, SPC, or any of the private and parochial school playoff games.   

[TexDoc]

I've never tracked TAPPS but certainly the information is there.  The task has been time consuming enough with what I'm putting together now.  My main focus has always been the public school playoffs.  I may attempt to pull together TAPPS info next year, time permitting.

TAPPS TCAL and SPC games will be even more scewed towards the bigger chapters.  In general private schools only exist in big cities.  The TAPPS schools usually have it where the higher seed gets a first round home game.  So therefore HOU, SAT, and Dallas get more games.  The SPC only has 1 championship game not a playoff.  Kincaid in Houston beat a team from Tulsa.  The game was played in Dallas I believe by a Dallas crew.  Here is what I would like to know about TAPPS.  Who gets the state championship games?  I know it is not Houston.  The games always seem to be predetermined to play in Temple.  Does Central Texas or Waco get the game??? Any help on that question would be appreciated.

[TXMike]

Heck Doc, your work next year will be doubled anyway as you will have to track taso AND uil chapters.  ;-)

Coach, I know Austin, College Station and Temple and probably Waco have called the TAPPS championships in past years.  I am assuming there is some sort of rotation with the chapters as to which one calls which games.  I do know the games are spread among the above mentioned chapters, and perhaps others.

Austin, Temple and Waco get a lot of these state championships because of where they are played.  I know Austin normally assigns D2 guys to these games, or they did in the past.

If that were the case, you've seen my last file.

Just mark the uil chapters with a yellow stripe.

The Dallas Chapter has this years TAPPS Division IV State Championship game tomorrow in Killeen. It is the first time I can remember Dallas working one of those. If memory serves they used to play all of them at Floyd Casey Stadium (Baylor) in Waco during a single weekend. Then they were moved to Temple. Now it appears they will be played in Temple, Killeen and Moody (6 Man games)

There are only 23 TAPPS approved officials organizations and 5 of those are non-TASO affiliated so the odds have increased at getting those games due to some chapters not registering with TAPPS.

That is a pretty good one!

College Station has the DI game later that evening in Killeen.  DI and IV at Leo Buckley in Killeen and DII and DIII at in Temple all on Saturday. I know they have played past years in Temple, Copperas Cove, Grosebeck and Killleen.

Update just sent to Mike for upload.  The only one I don't know about is Canadian / Mart.  Does anyone know who is working that one?  I have a feeling it is Abilene, but not sure.

Mike, could you save the newest as an attachment and post it. All I can get is through Week 2. Thanks

[TXMike]

Refresh your browser befiore clicking on the link and see if that works

Did that and a restart, etc. and it still won't go. Maybe something to do with the way that IT has our systems set up here as I do not have the problem at home. Sorry for the difficulty.
