REGION 8 TRAINING CAMP (9, 10 & ELITE)

STATE JUDGING DIRECTOR’S MEETING

OCTOBER 7, 2006

ATLANTA, GEORGIA

 

· Many of the sessions are repeats form Region 8 Congress because so few judges attended.

· Uniform update:

1. Jean DeArmon found this uniform which is worn by one of the airlines

2. This uniform is the same color but better material (NOT A CHANGE IN COLOR OR STYLE)

3. Sheila Ragle, RJD has done a lot of work to check on the uniform, obtain samples, meet with company

4. Each SJD will receive an email from Carole Ide to see what our needs are for new uniforms so the company will know how       much material to order

5. 2 styles of slacks – one with flat front (no pleats) and the other with pleats, elastic waist inserts, and lined to the knee – no petites but will special fit short people

6. Skirt is between an A-Line and a straight shape

7. Goal is to have a “fit line” for judges to try on at National Judges Cup

8. Each judge will be able to order to fit

9. All orders will be done on line

10. If in stock items will be shipped between 24-48 hours

11. Midway, our supplier now, called to say they had to change the jacket – this is the 3^rd time they have made changes to the uniform and the material is not the quality we started with.  The new company makes a sleeveless tunic that MAY be considered for approval as part of the uniform

In-Gym-Experience cards are not the correct year on the web site but will be corrected immediately.  If you are already using a card date from last year just change the year.

 

CPE – if a judge has more than 20 hours (level 10) list all on the CPE Cumulative Record and then carry over.  These carry over hours should be listed first on the next years Cumulative Record.  If a judge is short hours for a year use the first hours you receive in the next clinic attended.  If any remaining hours place on the current years record.

1. When using NAWGJ funds for judges the SJD MUST publish the guidelines to qualify.  What an SJD does for one judge must be available to all judges in your state.  If you provide food for a board meeting make sure that all members of the board are contacted.  If the SJD is traveling to an event and judges ride with her, those judges should pay their portion of the gas.  If you support the Brevet and National judges during their certification make sure to publish.

2. If you pay a judge more than $600 during a year for Judges Cups you must file a 1099.  If you are reimbursing a judge for expenses using money in your account set aside for their work at Judges Cups make sure you have the original receipt for the IRS.

3. Need to contract your judges for Judges Cups since this will cover them for insurance protection

4. Level 7 team – NCAA ruling is that no money can be paid to the gymnast or the gymnast parents.  All other expenses we have provided are okay.
