Had my first level 4 observation this weekend. I’ve just looked at the fixture on MOAS and it states ‘Observer Feedback Report Due’ however the report section says ‘N/A’. Is this just a case of wait for the report or have I missed something?
MOAS Observer reports
- Thread starter QuaverRef
- Start date
I echo es1's thoughts.
Approach your observer coordinator and see what their thoughts are on the report. a 71.25 is 1.25 below average from last years (for my league)
My first report as a 4 last year was a 71.7, I was pretty happy with it until I learnt how to see the league averages. Upon speaking to more experienced referee's they said the report was poorly written and I should have appealed.
Obviously there might be a different average this year, but it's worth speaking to someone just in case.

Where did you gain marks ? Assuming you're happy to share.
Only person who's going to look after you is you at the end of the day. Looking back I was way to naive with observers and coordinators (not you I will add!) and it led to me accepting some bad marks (a 70 in a year I got 77 the one i recall in particular).
You just trying to cause trouble - already complaining about observers....
1.3, use of STEP process. 3.4 management of injury, 4.1 work rate, 5.1 use of signals and 5.4 communication with assistants. All the rest were 7’s.
Pretty much, one of those things I guess. Reading the observer report I’m struggle to see what I can even appeal, it was a totally nothing fixture. Like being assessed on a preseason match.
Ultimately though, I don’t have aspirations of level 3 this season anyway. I considered this season a bit of a ‘free hit’ and bedding in period. just learn the ropes and enjoy it
Sounds like you had a good game. There's an awful lot of luck involved
Is the right answer
Getting good marks at the start of the season can result in you getting a better quality of match, so don't think of it as a "free hit". Starting well, will put you in the eyes of the appointing officer rather than at the back of the queue.
Keep going @QuaverRef, there will be other opportunities to demonstrate your skills in more challenging matches.
Does anyone have a copy of the L4 observation criteria? The 5-4 is freely available but I can't find this one. I have an observation coming up so wanted to prepare for it.

Just uploaded the Observers form to Resources. Hope this helps..
