Here in my little corner of Connecticut, ratings (80% of our rating is based on peer evaluations) are used to rank officials (1 "best" to 325 "worst"). Our assignment commissioner uses these rankings to assign games, and the number, and level (subvarsity, varsity, "big" games), of assignments is based solely on that ranking.

Ever?

[loners4me]

Ever....and says if you want higher level games he better not see it called

[loners4me]

And not 100% certain but I think other active members on here work for the same assignor in IL.

what league would that be? I work multiple leagues in Chicago area and have never been told not to ever call this. if I don't already work that league I will know to avoid it.

What's the reasoning behind that thinking? That goes against advantage/disadvantage principles.

Which means he has also informed all the coaches he assigns for, correct?

That's ridiculous. Having slightly different mechanics is one thing, but to call a rule differently is wrong.

I'd rather have my peers rate me, then the coaches and that's what happens here, coaches rate us....W.V.

Coaches rate us for state tournament assignments. Believe it, or not, they actually do a pretty good job.

Coaches/AD's hire the officials here and the coaches also rate us after every game.

[just another ref]

Coaches here have a rating card for each game. I have conducted an informal poll which says that most of them wind up in the trash can.
