Instead of using 1A/1B, 2A/2B, etc., why not just break it down in five rankings, 1,2,3,4,5.
A "1" rated official is the best of the best, capable of working any game at any level.
A "2" rated offical is a notch below, capable of working any JV level or below game and some of the lower level varsity games.
And so on.....
You also stated that your association has become "top-heavy" with many officials at the highest rating. There also needs to be a process in place to move officials back down in the levels as they get older and maybe slow down some. I've seen too many "top rated" officials that were great officials once, but their skills have deteriorated to the point that they should not be working the top level games any more.
