Being rated by anyone has always seemed to be a touchy subject, hopefully in this case the D-1 official is proffessional enough to do it right.
In our board here in NY we have recently changed our system also. We used to be rated by fellow officials and the coaches, combining the two ratings for an overall rating. A few years ago we stopped doing the officials rating, since it was decided that fellow officials were purposely down rating each other so as to try and promote their own rating. I know it sounds bad, but it was actually happening. Since then we are strictly using coaches ratings, even though everyone complains of this system also, since the coaches aren't usually very bias.
Our board is a relatively small one, but if anybody has a good way for rating officials I'm sure that we would all like to hear it ??
