Forum

The Officials' forum (found on the Forum web page of this site) is an opportunity for officials to discuss issues including race management, rules, scoring techniques, etc. without worrying about interference from non-officials. This forum requires you be registered on this site and have the proper permissions set for access and available only to officials of the CCA. Please register on this site and email Judy Rhyne to request a permissions update. Be sure to include your full name, username and email address used when you regsitered on this site. Note: You must be registered on this site before your request can be processed.

Incentive Program

The CCA would reimburse all official license fees, based upon the following qualifications:
- Any official who served as a CR for two events would be reimbursed
- Any official who served as CJ or Motoref for three events would be reimbursed
- Any official who served as AJ or AR for four events would be reimbursed. Note: weekday series races would count as one event
- In 2009, officials must attend a mandatory refresher clinic in order to be eligible for incentive payments. Newly licensed Cat C officials who attended a Cat C official’s clinic in 2009 are exempt from attending a refresher clinic.

Using the same criteria listed above, the CCA would also provide a $30 clothing/equipment stipend. Therefore, after working two races as the CR, the official would receive the $35 license reimbursement and a $30 clothing/equipment stipend. Officials who work two additional races above their minimum work requirements would receive an additional $50 clothing/equipment subsidy, with which they could purchase a stopwatch, a calculator, voice recorder, etc.
For example: If an official served as a CR for two races, they would receive the $35 license reimbursement and a $30 clothing stipend. If that same official served as a CR for four or more races, they would receive not only the $35 license reimbursement & the $30 clothing stipend, but also an additional $50 for clothing/equipment. The maximum stipend in any one calendar year would be $115 per official.

Positions of greater responsibility would be rewarded, and the plan would encourage officials to work more than just one or two events per year.
Copies of the CR report for each race would need to be collected and archived by the CCA. Either the secretary or the board member responsible for officials would be the repository for this information and would submit the appropriate check requests to the treasurer for disbursement. Ideally, officials would be reimbursed within 30 days of reaching each reimbursement level. However, consideration could be given to issuing reimbursements on a quarterly basis.
