GameTime
Here, on our local IAABO board, varsity officials are strongly encouraged to get to the game site in time to watch the first three quarters of the junior varsity game. The varsity officials get dressed and have their pregame meeting during the fourth junior varsity quarter. Between games the varsity officials are expected to give feedback to the junior varsity officials about their junior varsity game, mechanics, calls, game management, positioning, etc. The junior varsity officials are strongly encouraged to stay and watch the varsity game until at least halftime, and during the varsity halftime intermission, the two crews discuss the first half of the varsity game.
After we all go home, we are all expected to rate our partners and the officials in the other game. These ratings are sent, secretly, to our commissioner at the end of the year. There is some talk on our board this year that junior varsity officials, especially junior varsity officials with limited experience, should not be allowed to rate varsity officials.
