Site Features

Officials-Enter & Manage Schedules
Each official will enter their schedule into the system, which takes just a few minutes. Once the officials' schedules have been entered, all matches/games will be directly linked to each of the participating schools, so they may be ranked. Officials are able to manage their schedules for all of the sports which they are licensed in one easy location.

Officials-Rankings Summary
Each official will be able to view all of the schools that ranked him/her throughout the year. The official will not see the actual ranking, only the school that performed the ranking. Officials will also see their average ranking, as well as the state average. Coaches have a few weeks after the season ends to finish their rankings, at which time, the averages will be posted. All rankings are archived in the RefRanking system indefinitely, for future reference by officials and coaches.

Officials-Select Preferred Schools
Officials may select schools that are close in proximity to their home or work, and that they would be willing to work for. When school and conference administrators search the site for available officials, the Preferred Officials will be highlighted bright yellow and are easily identified. This will significantly reduce the time it takes for adminstrators to find officials for open dates.

Officials-Select Level of Competition
Officials may select the level of competition that they are capable and would be willing to work. When school and conference administrators search the site for available officials, only the officials that have agreed to work those levels of competition will be shown. This will assist administrators in assigning officials that are capable of working at the appropriate level of competition (Varsity-High Level of Competition, Varsity-Average Level of Competiton, Junior Varsity/Freshman, Middle School, Youth/Club).

Officials-Print Official's Card
Officials may print their own personal Official's Card, which is automatically generated for every official. The card contains their name, picture, license number and city. The Official's Card may be given to any coach an official works for. The Official's Card also contains instructions for the coach to help them log in and perform their rankings.

Officials-Print Tournament Crew Card
Officials may print a card that contains the entire crew of officials for any tournament or football game where more than official is working. The card contains each official's name, picture, license number and city, and may be given to any coach at the tournament or game. The Official's Card also contains instructions for the coach to help them log in and perform their rankings.

Officials may search for other available officials for any specific date on the calendar. Occasionally, officials need to find a substitute for an event, and this allows officials to easily identify available individuals.

Administrators-Send/Receive Contracts
Athletic Directors and Conference Commisioners may send officials contract proposals directly through the site. Once an event is proposed, the official(s) will be sent an email with the event details. The official may accept or decline the event by clicking on a link within the email notice. If the event is accepted, then it is automatically added to the system, linked to all of the involved teams, and an email confirmation is sent to the AD/Conference Commissioner. If the event is declined, the sender will also receive an email notice, which states that the official has declined the proposed event.

Coaches-Rank Officials
Each coach may log in and rank the officials that work their matches/games in a very efficient manner. Coaches may rank officials throughout the year, instead of having to wait until the season is over, and ranking can be completed in a manner of minutes. All rankings are anonymous and cannot be seen by the officials. The officials will only see a list of schools that have given them a ranking, their average and the state average. Each official will only receive one ranking per coach, regardless of the number of times the official sees any one school. There will be a lock-out date at the completion of the season, where all rankings will become final. A coach may change any of the rankings given to any official until that date.

Coaches-Ranking List
Once a coach completes their rankings, he/she may print out a composite list of every official that has been ranked, along with the ranking given. This may be kept for record-keeping purposes. All rankings are also kept in the RefRanking system indefinitely for reference by both coaches and officials.

Coaches-Waiting Period
All coaches have the ability to rank officials throughout the season, as they see them, but there is a mandatory three-day waiting period to do so. RefRanking will not allow you to rank an official until three days after the meet/game has been completed.

Coaches-Provide Feedback
Coaches may provide written feedback to any official they are ranking. The information should be constructive and will serve to help the official identify both strengths and weaknesses. A coach may give any official any ranking they feel the official deserves, but if a Master Level or Level 5 official is ranked below a 4, which is Regional Caliber, they must provide feedback as to why the official deserves that ranking.

Coaches-Select Top 10 Officials
A coach may select the Top 10 Officials in the state, in his/her opinion. This information will help to identify the top officials throughout the state.
