SCBOA Officials Rating

SCBOA Officials Rating Score and System

The SCHSL utilizes an officials rating system to determine game assignments and it consists of five different categories: Written Examination, SCBOA Experience, Officials Peer Rating, Attendance at Clinics, Exam, and Training, and Cooperation with the Local District. The SCBOA Directory contains the full details of the SCBOA officials rating score and system, with details about each portion of the score and other details about how the system is utilized. The SCBOA Directory can be found HERE (Click Here).

Points for the SCBOA officials rating score are calculated as follows:

Written Examination - Multiply the score achieved on the SCBOA written examination by .25

Example: An official that scores a 96 on the annual SCBOA written examination would earn 24 of 25 possible points.

SCBOA Experience - 5 points earned for each year of certified experience for a maximum of 25 points.

Experience in other states must be confirmed in writing by the athletic association of the state in which the official was certified.

Officials Peer Rating Score - Peer ratings are completed by partners on all varsity assignments. The average is computed and multiplied by 5 for a maximum of 25 points.

Example: An official with an average peer rating score of 4.5 would earn 22.5 of 25 possible points.

Attendance at Clinics, Examination, and Trainings - 20 points towards the officials rating score are earned through attendance at the following list of SCBOA-related events.

5 points awarded for attending an approved SCBOA camp every three years
