Several IHSA members have pseudonyms and I saw several on this site. Are you sure that what you transmitted was not given to anyone that could use it to cheat? I didn't think so.

What is your point? I know of several organizations that just went over the exam or will be going over the exam. They put in on their agendas for meetings. What are they going over the test to do? They are not going over the test to do tidally winks.

Lest anyone be confused, the IHSA policy does use the Part 1 score as one of the factors in slotting officials for playoff assignments. The equation has many factors, true. But, if Joe is equal to Bob on the coaches ratins, Top 15 lists and past playoff experience, this score can mean the difference between who gets the assignment. Let's say Joe, (like most of us) takes the test and scores a 90. he got tripped up on a couple of "word issues" and didn't really check into the new rules like he should have. But he's a pretty good official and was fortunate enough to be assigned a nice Regional contest last year. Bob, on the other hand, got the answers from Jeff and turned in a perfect score. When the decision is made, all things being equal, who do you assign? Remember, we have a lot of guys working out there and not all have been seen by the powers that be. For A Sectional assignment, the Assistant Director will look at the computer generated scores and figure, "This guy must really be on the ball. Four straight years of 99's and 100's."

Funny you should say that. Kurt said to me that one of the factors he uses is what kind of game you are used to working. He said directly that they know where your ratings come from. They know the rivalry games or the teams that are good or the pressure or talent is raised. He flat out said that if you are working a game like Quincy vs. Moline means much more than working Monmouth Warren vs. Roseville. Funny I have not seen one thing listed as to that "requirements" in any literature but he seems to figure that it is important. Or better yet, the guy that is working 15 different conferences gets more consideration than the guy working just 2. If you pass the test you get at least one point. You are not guaranteed getting any points in the other categories other than ranking (X, R, C). You might not even get one point the other categories. And if you have not worked a State Final, you will never get a perfect score anyway. And we know that they do with officials after they have sent you to a few State Finals.

You are the only idiot that thinks the power rating is used that way. But then again, you have done a good job of proving that all by yourself.
