Ranking Information
Officials need to enter only their entire varsity schedule on the WIAA website. In order for coaches to rank you efficiently, your varsity games should be in our system prior to the contest date. L4, L5 and Master level officials must have their entire varsity schedule in our system by the end of each sport season in order to receive classification advancement credit for the next school year.
Officials that are tournament eligible will complete tournament availabilities through the WIAA website.
Head coaches will go to the WIAA website to perform rankings of officials. Coaches are able to rank officials 12 hours after the contest. Coaches are allowed to rank an official 1-6 using the following scale.
- Would not hire this official again.
- Needs improvement.
- Would hire for a regular season contest.
- Would hire for a regional contest.
- Would hire for a sectional contest.
- Clearly among the best, would hire for a state contest.
Ranking data used for the current year is from the previous season.
If coaches are to be able to rank officials properly, it is important that they know who you are. Therefore, when signing the scorebooks officials need to write clearly. Also, officials should be printing the ranking cards from their profile information and handing them to the head coaches at the end of each game.

News & Updates
Entering Schedule
A few reminders for officials when entering varsity schedules into your profile information:
- Only enter varsity schedules (non-varsity events cannot be entered).
- Scheduled events should be entered before the contest takes place so that coaches are able to rank you on a timely basis. Games cannot be entered once the season is over.
- In a multi-school event, do not guess what teams are participating based on prior participants. If you do not know all the teams at the time you receive your contract, you can still enter the event but please go back in and add the participating teams within 12 hours after the event.
W-9 Forms Required by Officials
Officials are required to have on file a W9 form with all schools they are contracted to officiate at. It’s the law. When asked to complete this form please comply with the request of the school business office. If you do not comply, payment may be withheld or delayed.
In discussions WIAA Executive Director Dave Anderson has had with Mr. Woody Wiedenhoeft, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Association of School Business Officials, Mr. Wiedenhoeft stated “the official is breaking the law” by not submitting a W9 upon request.
