US Sailing Club Judge Seminar
Our local Judge Eric Johnson and Bill Simon the Oakcliff Race Program Director and the Regional Administrative Judge will be the instructors for this seminar.
We are opening up this seminar to those who are interested in finding out more about the protest process and the rules around that process. While we are not suggesting that there be more protests we are hoping that those that want to protest have a better idea of the requirements and the process yielding happier racing expereinces.
…is for people who are interested in initial certification as a US Sailing Club Judge. Some protest committee experience is helpful, but not required. The purpose of the seminar is to improve the quality, consistency and fairness of protest hearings and results at the club level.

A test and debrief will be conducted at the end of the day.
