My list would be the following:
1) Is the official believable? By his/her appearance, hustle, signals and presence, does the official look like he/she is connected with the game.
2) Call selection: does the official call obvious plays and not interrupt the game needlessly.
3) Communication: how well does the official appear to work with his partner? How does the official handle being questioned by participants/fans.
4) Dead ball/game awareness: does the official have command of the dead ball situations and timing situations, or does he/she constantly confer with the scorer's table and delay the game.
I think these 4 points are general enough that a non-referee can evaluate refs, particularly at the youth level.
