Here something I have learned over the last couple of years:
Veteran officials are not going to seek you out to improve your game. Most good veteran officials I know work very busy schedules and they are not likely to just show up unannounced and evaluate you.
As a young official, it is your (our) job to find a few officials that we respect, and ask them if they would come and watch one of our games. I think most veteran officials did something similar to this at some point in their career and if at all possible, would be glad to help out a fellow official.
As far as those ratings go, I ref in CA and I am not aware of anything like that here. Is that common in other states as well? All of our ratings are done at meetings which we don't attend and we ussually never hear about them anyway.
