The benefit is that each official will know roughly where he or she stands in relation to the other officials on the board and that may give some guidance to whoever assigns your games.

The drawback is that your fellow officials will use the rating system to trash each other in the hopes of raising their own rating.

Even if that doesn't happen, members of your association will find problems with it and complain that it's unfair for one reason or another.

As a D1 assignor once said, "The only thing worse than not having a rating system is having one."
