Ratings

[Ed Hickland]

On Long Island the coaches rate officials and those ratings determine playoff positioning. We work as four-man crews, therefore, the majority of the ratings for a crew fall within a range. That fact by itself might indicate coaches ratings are subjective. And, of course, the scale has no uniformity, therefore, the schedule will determine your rating.

I am interested in hearing from other officials around the country on how they are rated and how playoff positions are determined.

If the ratings are done strictly by coaches, do you feel they are objective.
