In Illinois, each coach and is supposed to rate you for each game on a 1 to 5 scale. if you work with a certified official (highest promotion level) they must also rate you, but only once a year.
1 = Qualified to work state final contests
2 = Qualified to work sectional contests
3 = Qualified to work regional contests
4 = Qualified to work varsity contests
5 = Qualified to work underclass contests only
The ratings are averaged and then divided by number of ratings and you are given a percentile ranking. They do this to award officials who work more games.
The problem with the system is that coaches do not do their ratings. I have work 35 varsity games this year. I should have 76 ratings (worked with 6 certified officials) I have a total of 22 ratings. This makes it look like I have worked only 8 games all year.
