RISOA Referee Rating Policy

RISOA officials are rated on a 5-point scale.  Officials with a ranking of 1 are typically assigned the most challenging matches in the center; officials ranked 5 are typically assigned the least challenging matches.  An official’s rating is based on his/her demonstrated excellence in 5 areas:  on-field performance, fitness, rules knowledge, a commitment to improvement, and commitment to the association.  The rating is determined by the assignor in consultation with the commissioner and the Board of Directors.

 Officials desiring a higher rating should complete the following form and submit it to the assignor.
