In effort to ensure transparency about you and your officiating, the CDC (Classification and Development Committee) is tasked with supporting you in your development to become a better official. The CDC is also responsible for ensuring that you receive a fair and unbiased classification/rating.
How the process will work:
Each observation will consist of the 2nd half of the JV game and the 1st Half of the varsity or some variation of that. We ask that the observer remain anonymous throughout the observation. Leadership wants to see how the official being observed works when they think no one is watching. The observer will only go into the locker room if a major rules violation has been committed, or if there is a player/coach/clock that needs to be addressed. Otherwise, the observer will watch the game(s), and report back to the CDC. The observer WILL NOT rate the officials. The observer will be given the official's rating to give the observer an idea of each official's current placement. The observer you will email the CDC directly, if there is a sense from the observer that the current official's rating is incorrect. Leadership will look into it. Once the observer has completed the observation, the observer will scan and email the form back to the CDC, and the CDC will mark the observation as complete.
If you have any questions regarding your rating and what it means, please reference the Ratings Criteria on the NCOA Central Hub here:
These criteria are the basis for your rating.

Please do NOT contact the assignors about your rating.
We also want to be transparent in letting everyone know that getting feedback and ratings from the CDC and any observers both before and during the season doesn’t mean the same as having your rating changed. The leadership group will be working to re-establish and document the ratings movement process, as the list is updated during pre-season and during the regular season the plan is to list your ratings in your profile on the website. More details to come on that process. We will be working this season to document and work through this process. Any and all feedback is welcomed.
Thank you for all you do on and off the court,
NCOA North Leadership
