Our local boys ref association is looking at updating the descriptors for our ratings system. You know, the verbage that describes the different "tiers" of an officials ability ranging from an official of the highest calibar down to an official who has a lot to work on.
For instance, here's an example of two of the tiers from our girl's assoc system:
1) Excellent Official: State Tournament caliber official. An official that would represent our association well at a state tournament and any district playoff games. This official has mastered all facets of rule knowledge and application, judgment and consistency, game management and game awareness, clock management, court coverage, teamwork, communication skills, court confidence and presence, leadership and professionalism, appearance and fitness, pre-game conference and preparation, and signals and mechanics.
2) Very Good Official: Official has mastered district tournament officiating and is on the verge of being a state official. An excellent official, but may need only a slight improvement in one of the facets listed under "Excellent Official."
I'd love to see some examples of what other groups use. Does anyone have anything they could post here or e-mail to me (or else direct me to something online)?
Thanks,
Z (kevtrout at northwest dot net)
