  2. IHSAA Tournament Officials Rating System • The ranking of contest officials applying for an IHSAA tournament series event shall have two components: • 1. School vote - 50% of total rating • Each official or crew that applies for the IHSAA tournament series must meet the minimum requirements for working in the tournament as set forth by the IHSAA. All school ratings will tabulated and divided by the number of schools that submitted a rating. The composite number calculated by this method will represent 50% of the officials overall score for tournament advancement. • 2. Individual Vote - 50% of total ratingAn individual vote is a vote that is assigned to an official or crew for efforts displayed in self improvement. An official/crew must enter his/her information into Arbiter for tracking purposes. Multiple criteria will add up for 50% of the officials overall score for tournament advancement.

  3. School vote – 50% • The athletic directors from each school may rate an official or crew listed on the IHSAA Officials Voting Survey. The athletic director will receive a separate survey for each sport where officials may be rated. Athletic directors can seek input from coaches on how to rate officials, but they are not required to do so. A rating scale will reflect a numerical rating system labeled as 5-4-3-2-1 with criteria established for each category. • The ratings rubric shall read as follows:

  4. School Rating Rubric • 5 The official/crew exhibits excellent communication skills, top notch (NFHS) mechanics, arrives at the contest site mentally and physically prepared, demonstrates excellent game management, and has control of the contest by making consistent calls from beginning to the end and can work the highest level in the tournament. • 4 The official/crew displays very good communication skills, is in position to make most calls. The official manages the game well and has control of the contest but not at the highest level. • 3 The official/crew demonstrates adequate rules knowledge and acceptable game management. Communication with coaches and players is acceptable but needs more experience to work the higher levels of the tournament.

  5. School Rating Rubric • 2 The official/crew has the ability, rules knowledge and communication skills to work the lowest level of the tournament. Improvement in one or more of these areas is required for advancement • 1 The official/crew is unable to stay with the highest skill level, communication, judgment, mechanics, and rules knowledge expected for the tournament. Game management needs improvement in order to officiate a tournament contest. • Note: A drop down menu will be provided for schools to provide rationale for a rating of either 2 or 1. A menu item must be selected for the rating to count toward the officials’ final rating.

  6. Observer Votes In sports where an observer is present, the observer vote will be incorporated into the school vote. The observers vote will be calculated the same way as a school does. When the IHSAA deems it has adequate coverage of observers throughout the state, their rating will become a percentage (%) of the overall official /crew score. Associations are being asked to provide a list of prospective former officials in that sport to the IHSAA so they can begin the selection process.
