Ratings Form Review
Purpose
- begin a process to help define and
modify a draft form
- educate members on how to observe
and rate their peers
Premises
- there is no “expert” on Bd. 6
- we need to help each other
Ratings Form Review
• Process
- draft form with 10 rating areas (form is on website)
- mandatory for this year only if you rate a member at 5. Must
complete and submit at end of year.
- encourage use by completing for each member observed after
each game
- similar form used in Bd. 6 summer camp
- similar form used by CBCBO on Arbiter
- rating areas – attitude/professionalism, mechanics,
knowledge of rules, judgment/consistency, game control
- Arbiter calculated final ratings
- used rating cards prior to Arbiter
Ratings Form Review
- 10 rating areas
- reaction time, game management,
intestinal fortitude, confidence, poise,
consistency, judgment, cooperation,
proper application of the rules, mechanics,
appearance/conditioning
- tonight we start with the first 3
Ratings Form Review
- other issues to resolve
- can the rating areas be combined (i.e. 10
to 5 areas) due to similarities
- should the rating areas be weighted
(Judgment at 30% vs. Appearance at
10%)
- others – send info to Marlene Luebeck
Rating Areas

– Reacts quickly enough to make a decision at
the moment of its occurrence
– Makes quick and positive decisions,
especially with respect to the “close ones”
– Takes the time to prevent an error from being
made

quick decision – hopefully a correct decision
– Other ???
Rating Areas
• Game Management
– Demonstrates control so game moves
smoothly as warranted
– Performs accurate foul reporting and clock
administration
– Communicates with coaches, partners and
table
– Other ???
Rating Area

and fouls – without regard to the score, whom
it may hurt, or how it may effect future
relations with the coach
– Makes tough call at critical part of game
– Shows poise and control and strives for
consistency
