2009-2010 EBOA National Officials Certification Program Floor Evaluation Appeal Process

An Official who has been designated a "level" can appeal to be re-evaluated if:

1. they disagree with their current "level"; or
2. they wish to challenge the next "level" of floor evaluation

An Official who wishes to appeal MUST:

1. Send a letter or email advising their intention to appeal and reasons for the request to the NOCP Appeals Coordinator (Susan Yackabowski)
2. Include a cheque/money order for $75.00, payable to the EBOA, to cover costs of the Re-evaluations. Cannot be charged to Official's account.
3. Upon receipt of the cheque/money order by the NOCP Appeals Coordinator, they shall arrange with the Assignor an appropriate game level to be evaluated.
4. The NOCP Appeals Coordinator will arrange and assign 3 Evaluators to the game site.
5. No refunds, regardless of the outcome of the Appeal.
6. In order to change the floor "level", the Official must meet the appropriate floor level base as per NOCP recommendations from 2 of the 3 assigned floor Evaluators.

An official who is naturally progressing through the NOCP levels does not constitute an "appeal" or a "challenge".

If an official is following the NOCP levels and fails their floor evaluation they can attempt again for that same level. An official will only get 2 opportunities at that same level in a year's time. This will not be considered an "appeal" nor a "challenge". It is part of the natural NOCP progression. After the prescribed time at a level and meeting the National Exam standards, an individual may request to move the next level.
