Assessment and Rating Assistance for Determining the Rating Earned

To use the chart below and some BOLD statements are marked as “DNO”:

  1. Put the number of BOLD “proficient” earned by your candidate in each core area in the top parentheses.
  2. Enter the number of those BOLDS that you observed in the denominator.
  3. Your answer will be the ‘Official’s Score.’
  4. Multiply your ‘Official’s Score’ by the number in the ‘Weighted’ column and enter the result in the ‘Final Score’ column.

If not using this chart:

The rater will determine if the candidate has met enough of the bolds to earn the rating (As a guideline, note the percentage of bold skills for each rating level). You may want to check your rating by using a chart to confirm.

#NOTE:

If the rater is conferring a L3 rating and not all “must be proficient” statements have been observed or some are ‘limited,’ you will have to determine if the candidate is capable of that skill had it occurred or that she/he is less likely to become proficient in this skill. The rater(s) will also have to determine how many of the “must be proficient” statements that are ‘DNO’ or ‘limited’ that may disqualifythe candidate for the L3 rating.

Determining a Rating Based on the Bold Statements

5 Core Areas - BOLD statements
in the ‘Proficient’ column / (# of Proficient) x # of Bold

(Multiply by) / Final Score
Professionalism, Responsibilities, & Ethics (yes) (7) / (0 ) x 7
0 / Score / X 0.5 / Score /
Knowledge & Judgment (5) / (0) x 5
0 / Score / X 2 / Score /
Positioning, Field Coverage, & Fitness (9) / (0 ) x 9
0 / Score / X 3 / Score /
Mechanics, Penalty Administration, & Game Management (7) / (0) x 7
0 / Score / X 3 / Score /
Comportment, Communication, & Teamwork (4) / (0 ) x 4
0 / Score / X 1.5 / Score /
TOTAL / Score /

Based on the BOLD Statements

Final Score
Local 1 Year (70% BOLD)
Less than 47 use apprentice form / 47 – 53.5
Local 2 Year (80% BOLD) / 54 – 60
Local 3 Year (90% BOLD) / 60.5+

*NOTE: If a majority of non-bold statements are “PROFICIENT” and the candidate has completed all the “must be proficient” statements, the candidate who has earned a L3 may be recommended to attend a District training clinic.
