They all get graded after each game. I would assume the conference downgrades any single ref or crew for poor games. Now for what happens after that, I am not sure. Is there more film work for them to do to get back onto the field? Are they not assigned anymore games or moved down to a lesser level of play? But in the end, there are not enough people willing to officiate any types of sports at high school, college or possibly even in pro sports. This has been and will continue to be an issue.
