Evaluations

Each varsity official rates his/her partner(s) and the rating forms are turned in to the commissioner. We use an A, B, or C rating with A being top notch, B being (that's awkard) good partner, but needs to work on such & such, and C being "don't ever want to work with them again".

Our association used to have this sort of system. It was changed just after I started. From all I've heard...What really happened is that buddies gave buddies the top scores and gave everyone else a lower score. It didn't really reflect ability or performance.

Now there is a committee of 8-10 people that are selected to do the evaluations. There still could be some favoritism but I think it is largely minimized by the evaluation chairman selecting good evaluators.
