To be assigned a refereeing level, or to increase the grading within the SSWPA, a referee must be evaluated by the evaluation panel. The referee is evaluated in the following areas:
- Ethics and Professionalism (Questions 5-8)
- Rule Interpretation (Questions 9-16)
- Provide Support to Participants in Competition (Questions 17-23)
- Game Management (Questions 23-37)
The outcomes aim to develop the core competencies of judgment, impartiality, critical thinking, and confidence in all water polo referees.
Score N/As as 3.
When being rated: 1 = Expected More, 2 = Meets Expectations, 3 = Exceeds Expectations
A 0 in any category will represent a failure for the evaluation. Opens referees must score at least an 16 in Rule interpretations to pass. 66 Points is required to pass.
