OFFICIALS

1	Please note that the Regional requirements for supplying officials differ from National requirements.
2	The London Region requires ANY club entering these competitions to provide officials for the duration of the event.
The MINIMUM named qualified officials required are:-
Competitors entered by Club	Officials required
2 to 3	1	qualified officials
4 to 6	2	qualified officials
7 to 10	3	(minimum of 2 qualified)
11 to 15	4	(minimum of 3 qualified, one of which must be county level or above)
16 to 20	5	(minimum of 3 qualified, one of which must be county level or above)
21 to 25	6	(minimum of 4 qualified, one of which must be regional level * or above and one of which must be county level or above)
26 to 30	7	7 named officials (minimum of 4 qualified, one of which must be regional level * or above and one of which must be county level or above)
31 or more	7	plus 1 per 10 (or part 10) competitors over 30 (minimum of 5 qualified,one of which must be regional level or above * and one of which must be county level or above)
* The London Region Committee recognises that not all clubs will currently have suitably qualified officials to fulfil this requirement. For 2006, entries will be accepted from these clubs as long as they have submitted at least one name for a regional judge course. The London Region Judging Secretary will make every effort to run at least one course of this level during 2006.
3	Nominated officials should not also be competing as it is not possible to schedule the timetable to accommodate these people. Any competitors who would like to officiate whilst they are not competing should be nominated as extra officials and they will be used if possible. Alternatively, they may replace one of their club's chosen judges for half a day (with the approval of the Judging Secretary).
4	Please note that a synchronised pair counts as 2 competitors. A competitor entered for an age group plus Open Men's/Ladies in the same event counts as 2 competitors.
5	New clubs without suitably qualified officials will be allowed to enter 2 events without supplying qualified officials as long as they have submitted at least one name to the courses' organiser for a judge course. After 2 events they will be allowed to continue to enter events without providing qualified officials if the region has been unable to offer their nominee a place on a course. New clubs must, however, supply the correct number of unqualified people to match their entry as above.
6	For other clubs struggling to provide officials, a surcharge of £20.00 can be paid to allow them to provide one less official than required. This surcharge would be payable with the entry or, in the case of an official not showing on the day without a replacement of equal and approved calibre being offered, the surcharge would be £30.00. No further entries would be accepted from that club until the surcharge has been paid. The committee reserves the right to disqualify any club that does not supply their nominated official(s) on the day.
7	Unqualified officials can be expected to be used as competition marshals, warm-up marshals, computer operators or manual recorders but please note that all officials may be used in any capacity and must appear correctly dressed. If an unqualified official is selected, it is the team manager's responsibility to ensure that the person is competent of performing the required duty.
8	8. Any club failing to arrive at the required time with their official(s), or with official(s) incorrectly dressed, can be withdrawn.
9	Competitors listed after an empty 'official's name' box on the entry form will not be accepted. If the penalty is being paid, write 'penalty paid' in the space for an official's name.
10	Clubs are notified of chosen officials with their competition information. It is the responsibility of the club manager to relay this information to their chosen officials.
11	Reserve officials are expected to be at the competition, in the appropriate uniform, and report for duty at the required time. If the reserves are not required at the start of the event, they must be available to be called upon at any time during the competition day.
12	It is no longer acceptable for clubs to write 'A N Other' for an official. Please supply a name for each official that your club is required to nominate so that they can be used in an appropriate capacity.
13	All judges, recorders and computer operators should wear BG uniform as below: Men: Navy blazer and/or jumper, navy trousers (not track suit/jogging bottoms), white shirt (not T-shirt), BG tie (or dark, single colour tie), black shoes suitable for a gymnasium floor. Ladies: Navy blazer and/or jumper, navy skirt or trousers (not track suit/jogging bottoms), white blouse (not T-shirt), black shoes suitable for a gymnasium floor. If it is cold in the centre and you need to wear a coat/warm jacket, please ensure it is a dark colour. Marshals, warm-up marshals and spotters should wear track suit or similar and trainers. Reserves should bring BG uniform and track suit with them as they may be used in any capacity.
14	The requirement for officials for DMT and Synchro differs from above. Please see the relevant entry forms for details.
