Very nice beginning, AZ_REF!! - thanks for allowing a tour!
My $0.02:
1. Have a logout
2. Provide a wider selection of ratings -> "1 through 5", for instance, rather than only three.
3. Default to 'No Selection' or something other than 'Exceeds Expectations'
(If there are no 'T's during the game, for instance, how can you provide a rating?)
4. Are there categories that the questions can fall into? (providing categories of questions might be easier to navigate than one long list)

Otherwise, very easy to use and having a Comment box for each question is good!

I'm not in any position to be evaluating other officials, but I know from past evaluations in other situations that I would be hesitant to rank "Exceeds Expectations" for about anything - we were always urged to "get 5's" from our customer evaluations and I was always thinking how I would never rate someone with a 5 unless they really were flawless - and they can't be flawless every time! I think I would prefer a system of ranking that ranged from one through ten, and expect that the best officials would tend to average ratings of about eight. Besides, if an officials "Exceeds" my expectations three times in a row, then by the fourth time they have only "Met" my expectations - but they are still no less qualified to work that level.
