Time to Request Judges

June 2008

 

To insure your meet will have judges send the Request-For-Judge Form and the $3 per judge booking fee postmarked by August 15, 2008.

 

The request-For-Judge Form will serve as your contract with NAWGJ to book officials.  Changes to the *Request form should be made to Mary Hoagland and Dianna Gasquez as soon as possible and no later than 7 days prior to your event. We will use information from the USAG Intent Form to assign the proper rated and number of Judges.  I will not be able to contract official for your meet without the information in written form.

 

Sarah will compile a master list from the intent forms with estimated numbers, by level, for each meet.  Meet Directors will be notified of these estimated numbers soon after the intent date.  Non-viable meets are asked to cancel by the date Judge’s Requests are due.  Please notify Sarah Myers, Mary Hoagland, and Jennie Adams in writing of your cancelled event.

 

Intent Forms are due to Sarah Myers sarahslaptop@triad.rr.com  by July 25, 2007.  Kidsport 3370 Church street Burlington, NC 27215 Fax: 336 524 9714.  These Forms are very important for planning qualifying meets please take the time to fill it out and send it in so meets can be held and staffed appropriately.

 

NAWGJ assignors will be assigning Judges, for fall in August and spring in December.  Tentative assignments will be posted at both Judges Cups.  When assigning judges they will assign the most experienced and closest judges available to your meet.  There may be an occasion when judges have to travel in order to spread experienced judges through out the sites.  Specific judging requests may be made in writing and will be honored if possible.

 

Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or concerns.

Mary Hoagland NC Judging Director

 

Dates to Remember:

 

§          July 25, 2008 Intent letters are due to Sarah Myers

§          August 15 ** The Request- For- Judge Forms are DUE.  Meet cancellations due

§          September 5-7 2008 Compulsory Judges Cup Held at Impact Gymnastics Cyndi Moore soxmoore1@bellsouth.net

§          September 12-14 National/ Elite Training NAWGJ Regional Symposium Camp Atlanta GA

 

*Failure to notify, in writing, the Judging Director/or contracted judges prior to the 7-day period will result in your being charged the first session judging fees.

** Meets added after the USAG Calendar will not allow athletes to qualify for State Meets but requests will be honored, if possible, when the Request Form is submitted 30 days prior to the meet date.

 

NC USAG has issued the following guidelines (based on the Intent Forms) for the number of judges and days you may request.

 

§         1-20 Athletes: Request 2 judges     1 day  (only if they are available)

§         21-50 Athletes: Request 2 judges 1 day

§         51-160 Athletes you may request 8 judges for 1 day or 4 judges for 2 days

§         161+ you may request 8 judges for 2 days

 

When there are more judges requested for a given day than can be assigned the Meet Directors are asked to work with each other and the Assignor to share judges (IE Saturday one site Sunday another site).  If an agreement cannot be reached by the Meet Directors the Assignor will notify USAG and NAWGJ and make a decision that allows the most meets to be serviced.

 

If the number of gymnasts entered significantly changes or you are hosting athletes from another state you may request more judges or cancel judges up to 1 week prior to your meet.  Optional Judges will be assigned when there are optional gymnasts in the meet.  However, the meet director may have to adjust the schedule/rotations in order for the properly rated official to judge the correct level of athletes. (IE 2 level 10 judges must evaluate level 10 athletes)
