About the Referee Development Clinic The Referee Development Clinic will provide you with a broad understanding of the role, responsibilities, and duties of a referee, as well as refine your sense of right of way, timing, and application of the penalties. Attending an official FOC-sanctioned clinic is a prerequisite for becoming a certified USA Fencing referee, along with successful completion of a 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 (1-10) can be obtained at a later date by being evaluated in a practical setting at tournaments. Written Exams The written test is offered online and typically taken shortly following the clinic, though it may be taken in advance: https://member.usafencing.org/store/exams If you plan to sit the exam, please make sure that you have adequately prepared by going through the Study Guide: https://cdn1.sportngin.com/attachments/document/7d5f-1785857/StudyGuidePDFMay_2014_Edition.pdf?_ga=2.69124242.244005932.1568472863-1281959198.1561503745 Who should attend This clinic is recommended for: - 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; and - Current referees - who need to fulfill their yearly requirement for seminar attendance or further their personal development.
