Officiating Experience Survey
The RQF Officiating Experience Survey is tailored to enhance the institutional-level experience of sports officials. RQF staff members will collect feedback and deliver it to conference commissioners at the conclusion of each sport's season, equipping institutions with crucial data to enact impactful changes. This essential data will contribute to establishing a more personalized and supportive environment for officials across all sports. The survey will concentrate on the following key areas:
  • Access to clearly defined game managers and security personnel
  • Communication from the host institution before each contest
  • On-site treatment: Availability of secure changing and shower facilities, provision of towels, and hydration facilities
  • Accessibility: Clearly designated parking and entrance/exit points
  • Treatment: Behavior of bench personnel, fans, and followers
