*Dealing With People You Can’t Stand  by Dr. Rick Brinkman and Dr. Rick Kirschner - a book that helps you understand how to deal with people with a conflict arises

*The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

 

Unusual Judging Situations:  Marian Dykes

*CPE

- Level 10 must have a minimum of 20 hours, 10 must be clinic

- June & July can count toward either previous year or current

   Year

-On the Cumulative Record the first line should be carry over     hours

-Can get validation sheet off of the USAG web page

-The most In Gym hours you can have is 6

-Some states require judge to turn in both the Cumulative Record and the validation cards (check with your CPE Coordinator)

-The National Office (SAG) has said they will audit one judge from each state as a spot check.  Judge will receive a letter requesting copies of the judges CPE credits

*In Gym Card for Regionals

         -9 additional hours to the CPEs

         -can only get credit for 3 hours at a Regional Training           Camp

*In order to change a score once it has been submitted (submitted is considered to be once you have signaled the next gymnast), an inquiry must be submitted by the coach

*Unprofessional for judge to tell a coach to turn in an inguiry

*Inquiry – “Please reconsider, Jamie needs 0.2 to qualify for State” now only at Sectional meets (not available @ meets that allow a percentage or certain number of gymnast), if the gymnast only lacks 0.1 to qualify, the coach can inquire her lowest scoring event within 5 min. of the completion of the

meet.  If they have already inquired at the lowest scoring event, they can’t do it again.

-Inquiry should never state what the gymnast needs from the inquiry

*Free copy of the current Rules and Policies can be ordered on line.

*Be respectful of COACHES and judges.  This was the biggest

complaint last year – when judges talked “down” to the       coaches

*Matting requirements are in Rules & Policies

         - changes are in bold

         - compulsory & optional are different

         -everything must be pulled

                   -can only use a manufactured mat, board – “Mount Trainer” is OK. Cannot use preschool board

                   -Cannot use an incline mat nor can the board be inclined (off the edge of the mat

                   -0.3 deduction without warning if using illegal matting.  If you see it, as a courtesy you can tell the coach

         -2006 sting mat may be used on board entry on vault.

-2007 manufactured vault mat will be the only mat acceptable

*On landings, if the hands and feet arrive simultaneously, you now can make a judgmental call and judge it.

*Broken Grips:  The Chief Judge or Meet Ref. must physically see that the grip is broken – coming loose does not constitute broken.  It must be physically broken.  The athlete is allowed to repeat from the point of interruption, repeat the entire routine, or accept the score.

*Camera Flashes:  The meet director can take a camera & hold it if flashes continue.  As judges, we can do nothing about it other than notifying the meet director.

*No rules concerning noise makers.
