*USAG Assignment of New York State Officials to Sanctioned Competitions*

From: Paul Spadaro: Although there has been a change to the judging certification process and the "new" position of USAG CPE, the organizational procedures for judging assignments have not changed. The State of New York is using the same personnel to conduct the procedures of assignments and USAG CPE credits. The major difference is that the USAG has development procedures that the State Chair must follow. This page, which has been used for the passed 5 years by NAWGJ assignors is now mandatory for all assignors. This will enable the membership (Coaches, Meet Directors & Officials) to know who they are having to officiate and our officials know exactly what the competition is about. I have told both NAWGJ State Directors, this page can be used for any and all assignments, as it has been in the past. My responsibility as State Chair, is to the USAG and YOU the membership. The wheel does not have to be re-invented but at times a newer model is developed.
Clarification: The only membership required to judge a USAG sanctioned competition is a USAG Professional Membership. Our USAG/NAWGJ Assignors choose Officials who are listed on the USAG list sent to the Judging Directors and CPE Co-ordinators..

Please understand per the Rules and Policies that:

Meet Directors, on any level, except sectional competitions, the SC's request/requirement is that the officials closest to the event have the opportunity to judge the competition that is in their "backyard".
Meet Directors may request specific judges when they submit a "request for Judges" form to the approved contractor, if those officials are not available the contractor must inform the Meet Director.
Meet Directors have the right to hire there own officials.
Meet Hosts of Invitational Competitions or any meets that are not under the organizational jurisdiction of the State may use a state approved contractor or may contract the officials using a USAG Gymnastics Contract directly.
Rotation of Officials is not required
Holding a specific rating does not insure a judging assignment. Once the availability of judges has been established, the assignors must consider:
(1) requests by the Meet Director for specific judges or specific ratings, (2) the minimum rating required to judge the specific meet, (3) Geographical location of the meet,
(4) assignors should attempt to assign all judges to a minimum of three competitions per year

USAG Assignment of New York State Officials to Sanctioned Competitionsthis is an excerpt for the USAG Rules & Policies

The State Chair has not changed any personnel in the assignment process. There is no reason to re-invent the wheel but here is what is new:

Name designation: The "contractors/assignors" are now "USAG Contractors/Assignors" who can be appointed by the Chair but have not been. The selection of assignors has not changed, although there is a difference between the process for upstate
and downstate.
The New York State Web Site www.newyorkstategymnastics.com / USAG Assignment Page will post all USAG sanctioned competitions with the respective judging assignments (name, event, meet referee). This is for transparency for both the
Officials and Meet Directors. Many Officials and Meet Directors have e-mailed the State Chair with questions pertaining to assignments. Questions I could not answer. The use of our web site will help answer many of the questions for both the officials
and the Meet Directors.
The Officials Contract must be filled out and submitted to the assignor on or off-line. This is something we have done on a limited basis over the passed four years.
and submit it automatically or print it out and fax it to the assignor. The on-line contract goes only to the USAG Assignors.
The USAG Gymnastics Judges Compensation package will be used by the State of New York for sectional and State Championships.

THIS CONTRACT IS FOR USAG MEET DIRECTORS WHO ARE NOT USING THE JUDGING ASSIGNORS.
USAG MEET DIRECTORS HAVE THE RIGHT TO HIRE THEIR OWN OFFICIALS FOR THERE COMPETITIONS.
ANY USAG OR NAWGJ OFFICIAL MAY JUDGE THESE MEETS WITHOUT FEAR OF NOT BEING INSURED.
EVERYONE IS INSURED IN A USAG SANCTION COMPETITION.
ASSIGNING FEES WOULD NOT BE OCCURED.
THIS IS DIRECTLY FROM THE NATIONAL USAG WORKSHOP. QUESTIONS E-MAIL: Kathy Kelly, Kathy Ostberg or Jen Scannell
