  3. Official’s Ranking Form

  4. RefRanking.com will be used this year by all coaches in all sports to rank officials. Rankings are used by the WIAA staff to assign tournament officials. This system is much easier for coaches to use and has proven to provide officials with more rankings. Coaches can enter rankings 3 days after the completion of a contest. Instructions on how coaches can access the system can be found on the WIAA School Center. RefRanking.com

  5. Officials can access the RefRanking.com page by following the instructions provided with their rules books this year. Officials need to review their profile information regularly and make updates as necessary. Officials will need to enter their schedule of games into RefRanking.com in order to be ranked by coaches. Officials will NOT be asked to submit a separate Schedule of Games this year as the games entered in RefRanking will be used to verify each official’s schedule for classification purposes. Tournament availabilities will also be posted on RefRanking.com. RefRanking.com

Coaches will complete the initial login information and will then receive an email with their login information and password. Please write down your login information for future reference.
