There were some curious numbers. One site had my average rating at 2.667 (of max 5) for boys and 3.375 for girls. The other site 3.35 for boys F/JV, 3.42 for girls F/JV, and 3.05 for Varsity boys, 3.20 for Varsity girls. Not knowing how these numbers compare to others in my association, is there anything to take away from this? I cannot see individual ratings, just averages, but I can see how many evaluations are included in that average. What kind of numbers should I expect as a "good" official? I've talked with a few of the better local officials and have yet to hear anyone claiming they get close to 4. Hit me with your thoughts.

Your first thought was the best.

There's nothing in these ratings that provides any feedback on what to do to improve, so they are meaningless to you.
