Rating officials in Illinois

Officials were (umm, allegedly):

1) Rating some officials too high ("helping out a friend")

2) Rating some officials too low ("screwing the enemies / helping out a friend in 'competition' with the official")

3) Rating some officials even though they hadn't seen them work (in conjunction with 1 and 2)

As Mickey Crowley told us at camp, "The only thing worse than not having a rating system is having a rating system." And he mentioned exactly the above reasons.
