if each official is correct 95% of the time, that's means he's missed 5% of the calls....right?
5% incorrect X 3 officials = 15%.....

is this the same level-headed, clear-thinking judgement that you demonstrate on the floor?

i can now see why you quickly dismiss feedback/comments from others....BECAUSE IT MUST HAPPEN ALL THE TIME!!!

You're really not helping yourself here.

You're just flat wrong. If each official grades out at 95%, then their combined total will still be 95%. Not 85%.

Let's assume each official makes 40 calls per game that get graded. 95% means he gets 38 of those calls correct.

That means there were 6 incorrect calls per game. That would be 15% of 40, but there were 120 calls made total, not 40. Only 5% were missed.

Are you frickin' serious?

Official A: 95 calls right 5 wrong
Official B: 95 calls right 5 wrong
Official C: 95 calls right 5 wrong

That's 285 correct and 15 wrong. That still equals 95% correct and 5% wrong.
