There is not evaluation process.

I'm sorry Mark, but this is an evaluation process. Official X recommends or does not recommend official Y for varsity games. Official X has evaluated official Y and he decides either Y is or isn't ready. If Y gets enough positive evaluations he's in, otherwise he's not.
Blacklisting is a way for coaches to evaluate officials that has an immediate impact for that coach.
You may not like it, but evaluation is exactly what this is.
