When asking about a ratings system are you talking about how an official is rated on a particular game or the classification of an official?
If you are talking about the classification of officials there are many names and numbers you could use. The more important thing will be what you use to divide the different groups. So many times the number of years worked or an officials political standing is the first thing used. If you have the chance, it would be good for you to use an officials overall ability as the most important element of classification.
If you are talking about rating an official on a particular game you could make a generic list of things evaluators should look at and give them a scale for each individual area. The individual areas can be averaged to come up with an overall rating.
IMO the most important thing when it comes to rating is to make sure the raters are current with the game. So many times a ratee will get marked down for something that has changed because the rater hasn't been to a camp or stayed current with the game.
Just some things to think about.
