Teams Racing Umpire Seminars are suitable for anybody with a basic understanding of the rules or teams racing. This seminar provides a great basis for umpiring at local events, as a step towards a Club Umpire qualification.
This Seminar is held in the lead up to the National Secondary Schools Teams Racing Regatta. An opportunity will be given to those who wish to sit the exam to gain Club/National Umpire Teams Racing status- if you wish to sit the National Umpire Exam, you MUST advise us prior to the seminar start date. On the Water practical assessments/evaluations will occur during the regatta.
The first day of the seminar will include basic umpiring techniques, communication between umpires, some rules including definitions, boat positioning, Appendix D to 2.2(c), umpiring practice in the classroom and some calls from the call book. On day 2, we will consider umpire decision making, Appendix D2.29d0 to D5.3, rule 42, redress and damage, some umpiring issues, calls from the call book, regatta relationships, YNZ NU requirements, and the format of the exam and on-water assessments. An opportunity will be given to those who wish to sit the exam while the remainder have a question and answer and discussion session. Morning/Afternoon tea and lunch will be provided to the attendees.
Inexperienced umpires, and certainly those who have not passed the exam to Club Level, should attend both days. Experienced umpires looking to revalidate may attend the second day only.
