I don't think it is designed to help one improve, but I've always tried to view it that way. I've never run into a rating this low for softball so it was pretty upsetting to see it in basketball.
Again, the biggest frustration is that it is only coaches with input on the rating. In Missouri it's supposed to be broken down this way:
1-State level official
2-District/Sectional Official
3-Varisty Official
4-Sub Varsity
5-Not ready to officiate
The only time the coach has to be specific in any way is if they give a 5. At that point, they have to write a report to the state office. So, it doesn't help anyone get any better.
As stated, the state uses these ratings in order to select those officials to do sectionals and beyond. While I have a few years to go before I get that far, I'd like to think am better than what I was rated.
