State Series Playoff Crew List as approved at the January 6, 2010 meeting
The list of approved officials eligible for post-season playoff consideration are listed in the December 16, 2009 meeting minutes.
Your Actual FHSAA Test Questions with Answers (For those who have previously tested on-line with FHSAA)
This year, each official can print the 50 questions the computer randomly generated for them. As in the past, if there is a test question that is found to be flawed, the FHSAA will throw it out. One of the advantages to the online testing is, only those officials who were given the particular question will have their scores adjusted. Log into the online testing center and click on the test history button on the left side of your home page.
