Major Change to Official Requirements for Meets
Effective 9/1/13 all meets will be required to have a certified Administrative Official. The below table will help you determine what type of officials you will need and the minimum certification level each official will need for their position. While looking at this table please keep in mind the Referee must be YMCA certified and there must be at least one other YMCA official at all YMCA meets whether or not the meet is sanctioned and/or approved by ISI.

If you have any questions please contact Becky Menso. She is working on the obvious training issues to help smaller and non-USA teams get people certified to run the table. More information to come on training clinics.
