I'm not suggesting that at all. JV officials could be rated by any official who works JV or higher. It just seems to me that a 2nd year official isn't qualified to rate a Varsity official. JMO.

I have no problem with requiring an experience factor like years of service before an official can participate in a ratings system (although five years seems quite long since I've seen some great third-year officials) . But when you start saying things like "only varsity officials should rate other varsity officials," you run the risk of creating something of a "good old boy" system where the top guys always rate each other high and keep each other high. That makes it pretty hard for a great young official to break into that group.
