4.         The Evaluation Form can be emailed, faxed or mailed to the Evaluation Committee to log or the CE can access their ArbiterSports.com account and submit it themselves.

4.         The Peer Evaluator will submit the completed form by fax, email or mail to the Evaluation Committee within a week of the game which will then be posted by the 20^th of the month following the game.

FOR PARTNER EVALUATIONS:

1.         You can either request a partner evaluation from one of your partners or you can perform a partner evaluation on any partners that you worked with as long as it was arranged prior to the game day.

2.         Use the Evaluation Form to create the basis of your evaluation.

3.         Make sure you discuss your Evaluation before submitting it to the committee.

4.         Only one evaluation should be done per game.

5.         Submit the Evaluation form by email, fax or mail and it will be entered by the evaluation committee.

Officials can download copies of the evaluation form from their ArbiterSports.com account under FORMS menu item then selecting the Evaluation Form and also the Evaluation Criteria Form.

The forms can also be downloaded under the links on this site.

These forms can be used for all Certified, Peer and Partner Evaluations.

It is recommended that the following minimum numbers of evaluations be done on an annual basis:

• 1-3 year officials =            8 evaluations: 3 certified, 2 peer, 3 partner
• 4-7 year officials =            6 evaluations: 2 certified, 2 peer, 2 partner
• 8+ year officials =             4 evaluations: 1 certified, 1 peer, 2 partner

The different evaluation totals will be weighted as follows:

• Certified Evaluations        = 70%
• Peer Evaluations                = 15%
• Partner Evaluations          = 15%

At the completion of the officiating season (November to August) all scores will be tabulated and the new ranking will be passed on to the ranking committee make up of the Directors and Assigners.  They will compile the other criteria with the game ranking to establish the overall ranking which will be entered into each official’s ArbiterSports.com account.
