The written test is now offered online. https://www.usafencing.org/referees-process Please make sure that you have adequately prepared by going through the Study Guide: https://www.usafencing.org/referees Attending an official Referee Commission sanctioned clinic is a prerequisite for attempting the written exam. Once a passing score (90%) has been achieved on the written exam (both the general section and one or more weapon-specific sections) a referee receives a rating of "P" in each weapon passed. Further rating improvements (10-1) can be obtained at a later date by being evaluated in a practical setting at tournaments. The lecture and question and answer format on Saturday will provide a broad understanding of the role, responsibilities, and duties of a referee. It is not a study group for test preparation. It is expected that participants will have read the study guide and come prepared with a willingness to learn how to be a better referee and fencer. *********************************************************** Additional Resources: In Preparation for the Clinic, here is a great series of videos on youtube that offer lots of advice and support for Referees. https://www.youtube.com/user/FencerRefCoach/videos?flow=list&live_view=500&sort=da&view=0 *********************************************************** Who should attend: - Aspiring referees: who want to learn how right of way and rules are being applied at a national and international level - Athletes: who want to improve their games and get a more complete understanding of their sport - Coaches: who want to maintain their grasp of current interpretations and rules updates - Parents: who want a better understanding of tournament format and the basics of sport fencing for their children - Current referees: who need to fulfill their yearly requirement for seminar attendance or further their personal development ------------------ Important Info: ------------------- Clinic: Referee Seminar with Justin Meehan Location: The Fencing Center of San Jose ------------------ To Preregister: ------------------ Check FRED for more info, like who is already preregistered, and such: Who is preregistered: http://askfred.net/Clinics/whoIsComing.php?clinic_id=49120 More info: http://askfred.net/Clinics/moreInfo.php?clinic_id=49120 http://askfred.net/ Thanks for using FRED!
