Club Judge Seminar - 2/28/2020

Being a Club Judge is a fun and interesting way to give back to the sport of sailing. As a Judge, you will learn what happens in a protest room, how decisions are made, and over time you will gain a better understanding of the rules, making you both a better Judge and a better racer!

INFO & REGISTRATION


The US Sailing Club Judge Seminar is 6-8 hours of on-line interactive learning and a one-day in-person seminar. The Club Judge Seminar is NOT intended to serve as a rules seminar, you should have a basic understanding of the sailing rules.

The goals of the seminar are:
(1) to become a new judge at a local club and be able to serve on a protest committee;
(2) for existing members of a protest (or race) committee to sharpen their judging and procedural skills; and
(3) lay the groundwork to (potentially) pursue their US Sailing judging certification.
