I'd contend it's worse in cricket, where the top tier of officials now just rely on TV technology and league umpire appointments are much more down to who you know, rather than how you perform.
Around 45 on my supply league. Based on previous bandings and talking to others, I'd estimate I was around 6th for observers, and hopefully no worse than 10-12 for clubs.
I wish they'd just publish a list and release bandings at the same time. Would reduce the frustration caused by the unknown...
Not yet. I'll be surprised if I wasn't A for observers, given what I finished with and where I was in October and December. And I'd been B for clubs on at those stages too. Club marks don't necessarily go up when observer marks do, but I didn't have anything contentious to really harm them.
