Local Meets

Help is always appreciated on deck; we can never have too many officials! Officials are welcomed and encouraged to volunteer at home, away, and championship meets. To volunteer at a meet, please contact the meet referee or meet director prior to the meet to let them know you'll be attending. Alternatively, simply arrive at the venue 1 hour prior to the start of the session and ask any meet volunteer where the officials team is meeting.

Prelim/Final & Championship Meet Sign Up

MNSI Prelim/Final & Championship Meet Sign Up

Officials are needed for all MNSI winter championship meets! Your help is appreciated, whether for part of a session, one session, or all sessions. Advance sign up is appreciated so Meet Referees can begin their planning, but volunteering the day of the meet is also welcomed. We've added position preferences to the sign up forms for officials interested in volunteering in a specific position in a championship environment.
A procedure and guidelines for championship meet assignments can be found
on the Officials: Resources for Clubs tab.
