Written tests will be available immediately following the clinic online for those who desire to take it. If you plan to sit the exam, please make sure that you have adequately prepared by going through the Study Guide: http://fencingofficials.org/documents/National_Referee_Examination_Study_Guide_October_2008_Edition_10-14.pdf Clinic link: http://askfred.net/Clinics/moreInfo.php?clinic_id=21319 Practical refereeing exams will be available by appointment. Attending an official FOC-sanctioned clinic is a prerequisite for attempting the written exam. Once a passing score (90%) has been achieved on the written exam (both the general section and one or more weapon-specific sections) a referee receives a rating of "P" in each weapon passed. Further ratings improvements (1-10) can be obtained at a later date by being evaluated in a practical setting at tournaments. The Referee Development Seminar will provide you with a broad understanding of the role, responsibilities, and duties of a referee, as well as refine your sense of right of way, timing, and application of the penalties. The Study Guide will prepare you for the written exam. The two together are designed to prepare you for the demands of refereeing actual fencing bouts. The cost of the clinic is $60/person. There will be a working lunch during the clinic. Please feel free to bring food. Additionally, orders will be taken at the site of the clinic for delivery. Charles Greene is a highly rated referee in all three weapons. Who should attend: - Aspiring referees - who want to learn how right of way and rules are being applied at a national and international level - Athletes - who want to improve their games and get a more complete understanding of their sport - Coaches - who want to maintain their grasp of current interpretations and rules updates - Parents - who want a better understanding of tournament format and the basics of sport fencing for their children - Current referees - who need to fulfill their yearly requirement for seminar attendance or further their personal development http://www.LibertyFencingClub.com
