Championship Crew Assignments for 2022

One of the highest honors an official can receive is a championship game assignment.  These officials are evaluated and selected by an independent CFOA committee.  A championship official has demonstrated their detailed rules knowledge and proper use of CFOA mechanics throughout the season.  These officials have reached a high standing at the state level and are ranked against more than 500+ officials from around Colorado, not just the Denver area.  Please congratulate all of these officials for achieving this career pinnacle in 2022.
