Continue to rate officials on a 1-5
scale.
Only rated on Varsity contests.
You should receive a rating from
each game you officiate. However,
this is not always the case.
If an official receives fewer than 15
ratings, the official will receive a
rating of 2.5 for each rating fewer
than 15.
The official’s highest three (3) and
lowest five (5) ratings will be deleted
The remaining ratings would be used
to calculate the official’s:
◦
1) Mean (average)
◦
2) Median (middle number)
◦
3) Mode (most frequent)
Those three measures will be totaled
for a possible maximum of 15.

Officials will be ranked in their Athletic
District of residence from highest to lowest.
Ranked officials will then be divided into
pools.
Pools are groups of officials eligible for
various levels of the tournaments.
The District and Sectional pool will be
approximately twice as large as the number
of officials to be assigned.
The Regional pool will be approximately 2.5
times the number of officials needed.
The State pool will be approximately three
times the number of officials needed.
Tournament eligible officials complete a
tournament questionnaire through their
myOHSAA account.
Upon completion of the questionnaire
process, the rankings and pools are reviewed
to make certain there are enough officials in
each pool.
Regional and State assignments are finalized
by one or more individuals, including DODs
and OHSAA staff.
District and Sectional assignments are
finalized through District Athletic Boards
(DAB). DABs receive lists of officials receiving
a State and Regional assignment.
Officials may be divided into District,
Sectional, or Alternate pools to facilitate
assigning.
Q: What if I hold multiple positions in this
system? I am a Secretary, Assigner, and an
Instructor.
◦
A: You must choose one role.
Q: Why are the highest three (3) and lowest
five (5) coaches ratings dropped from the
coaches vote metrics?
◦
A: By dropping those ratings, the metrics are a truer
reflection of the official’s performance. This
prevents an official’s average from being affected
by an emotional rating from a coach.
The process for selecting and evaluating sports officials involves various steps such as rating on a 1-5 scale, calculating mean, median, and mode of ratings, and voting by coaches and associations. Athletic Directors play a crucial role in submitting their ballots at the end of the season. Officials are selected based on votes from associations, coaches, and schools. The criteria include removing highest and lowest ratings, calculating total scores, and ensuring fairness in the selection process.
