STATE TOURNAMENT OFFICIALS

Since our first state tournament assignment for Phil McDonald in 1979, our association has been represented at the WIAA Hardwood Classic by 48 different officials in over 185 appointments (as of 2015). In 1987, our first girls assignment went to Tim Wheatley. We are proud to have these members represent our organization.

In 2011, the WIAA changed to a regional tournament format. This reduced the number of games classified as "State" games. To better accommodate this tournament structure, fewer officials were needed for the state tournament.

Starting in 2011, officials were assigned to two size classifications per gender grouped by the state tournament location. 2B & 1B games are played in Spokane, 2A & 1A games are played in Yakima, and 3A and 4A games are played in Tacoma. Prior to 2011, officials were designated for only a single size classification per gender.
