The Examination Questionnaire for all National Judges will be available on our website www.gnasjudges.co.uk on the 11th December 2009.

 

This questionnaire is compulsory for all National Judges with no exceptions.

 

As we have previously advised, we have no problems with you getting together in groups and working out the answers together. This is probably the best method. Our aim is to get you all conversant with current legislation and practice. Your answers however, must come from you in your own words.

 

The Paper does not contain any legislation that is forthcoming from FITA; we believe that would be unfair as it is not yet current.

 

The Paper MUST be returned to Derrick Lovell (address given on the paper itself). This can be done either by email or Royal Mail.

 

You will have until 22 January 2010 to complete and return the questionnaire, but it MUST be returned by that date.

 

Any National Judge who refuses to answer or return the paper, or fails to get a mark greater than 85% will be demoted to Regional Judge on 1st March 2010

 

Our original plan was to offer a second paper, but we have since discarded this idea. 

 

Judges being demoted can try a further paper in September 2010 when all Regional Judges will be getting their Questionnaires. Should you achieve the required mark, you will be re-instated to National Judge. Should you fail, you will remain Regional Judge and be required to undergo the normal procedure to National Judge.

 

I refer to ALL National Judges which is the highest rank within GB. I include in this all FITA International/Continental Judges unless otherwise exempted.

 

The questionnaire will be answered at our Conference in February. You will have passed the paper if you hear nothing from the Chairman.
