Clarifications (March 2000)
Here is some very important information as provided by Yvonne Hodge. These
clarifications have all risen out of situations reported to NAWGJ and USAG so
far this year. The page numbers from Rules and Policies and Technical
Handbook for Coaches and Judges are listed where these situations are
clarified.
- Hotel rooms are only for judges (not relatives or friends of the
judges.) Page. 96, R&P V
- Breakfast is not reimbursed for day (local) meets in which the
judge travels to and from the meet site in one day. Lunch and dinner per
diem would be provided if on-site responsibilities are 8 hours or more, or
if the round trip mileage is 100 miles or more. Page 96, R&P VI, Maximum
for one day is $30.00
- If the Meet Director provides a meal, NO per diem is to be paid. Just
because we as judges “don’t like” what was served or are allergic to
several items does not mean we can ask for per diem. (If a judge is allergic
or has (doctor’s) dietary restrictions, he/she should bring his/her own
food for his/her own protection.) Page 97, R&P
If a club serves dinner at the end of a meet, judges cannot ask for per diem
because they want to get on the road. They need to “fix a plate” to
travel with them.
- Carpools that have been planned should remain the same so no one is left
out or left to travel alone. (Illness in the middle of a meet might cause a
change occasionally.)
- Judges who have only passed Levels 5 and 6 CANNOT judge optionals. In
emergency only, a Level 5/6, who has tested Level 7/8 (and not passed) may
judge Level 7/8 vault.
- An affiliated judge MAY NOT be assigned as a Chief Judge regardless of
certification. Page 87 R&P, B, 1, C
- A judge must wear the uniform for the competition, as designated
in the contract. Tech. Handbook, Page 12, #20, page 15, #17, Page 16, #8
- Judges must stay in their seats during the competition unless they ask
permission of the Chief Judge, Tech. Handbook, Page 16, #6
