Re: Referee Certification Course
When that was announced, I was very pleased. The reason is simple: when the whining and complaining starts, there is documentation in place that supports the refs. They have become certified through the course.
It is very frustrating for me, personally, to read posts that are negative and critical regarding refs and inspectors. This will help.
In my job at a university, I take certification and compliance courses every year that show that I understand the rules of the university and I will comply. It goes in my personnel record.
This is a great way to grow consistency and continuity across the competitions. All the volunteers, including our refs and inspectors, need our support and appreciation, esp. during the tough calls.
