Referee Seminar
November 4th 
9:00 a.m.

 
In order to standardize interpretations and procedures at competitions any candidate for a Division referee rating must have attended a Referee Seminar within the last two years.   In 2004 and 2005 there was a Division Seminar, and a seminar at the Summer Nationals.  There was also a Seminar at the 2006 Summer Nationals. Division members who attended any of those meetings are eligible to take or retake the referee written examination.   Any one who participated in seminars in 2003 or before must take the seminar again before taking the exam.  A certificate of attendance was issued to each seminar participant at those seminars and must be presented as proof of attendance.
 
A full day (6 to 8 hours) must be set aside for the seminar.   A fee of $40 will be charged to each participant for the Seminar.  This will include one sitting for the written exam and one practical exam.    A fee of $10 will be charged for a retaking of the written exam, either during the seminar or at another time.   Ratings higher that "9" can be earned at regional, or national meets from a Certified Referee Examiner for an additional fee of up to $10.   A copy of the Rule Book can be obtained from the FOC web site (www.fencingofficials.org) as can the official Referee Study Guide .   A good general knowledge of the USFA fencing rules is highly desirable in advance of the seminar. 
 
Anyone interested in attending please contact Bill Towry by email (wtowry5935@aol.com)  to indicate intentions to participate by October 30, 2006.   They need to have a firm indication of the numbers in order to prepare materials.
