“Working with Rowing Referees” ELIZABETH WEBB Austin Rowing Club Executive Director POLLY WHITESIDE Head Of The Charles Regatta Umpire Logistics

TAKEAWAYS (what we hope you will do) 1) Referees are VOLUNTEERS 2) ATTRACTING Quality Referees 3) Referee RETENTION

The Value of a Referee: Priceless! US Rowing Licensed Officials ~ Bring INTEGRITY to your event Retain INSURANCE coverage A Critical FACE of your Regatta

Role of a Referee Safety – protect investment Fairness – level playing field Enhance Athlete Experience

1) Referees are VOLUNTEERS

It all starts with The CHIEF How Do I CHOOSE Referees? Get references from Other Regattas in your region and worldwide (that’s why they’re called “referees” *) Contact your Regional Referee Representative Contact USRowing It all starts with The CHIEF Retaining a Good Crew of Referees year to year

2) Attracting Quality Referees ~ Why they COME and Come BACK FRIENDLY people NEEDS anticipated and MET CONNECTION with your event

Attracting Quality Referees ~ Treat them as well as you can afford Hotels/Lodging PARKING -- CLOSE to the referee meeting site Meals/Provisions BREAKS – most referees work 10-14 hours/day Working Equipment – launches, etc. TRAINING – online; in-person local Well-marked COURSE

Examples of Referee Benefits ~ Austin Rowing Club Referee Stipends: $100/day for in-state referees $200/day for out-of-state referees Referee Dinner at hotel the evening before a regatta. Opportunity for a Referee clinic if a clinician is on your jury Breakfast and Lunch during regatta and unlimited snacks, water, etc.

3) RETAINING Referees ~ Goodies Beyond the Call Extra CLOTHES for bad weather TARP floor in their tent JACKETS -- advertise your regatta all year Service-year PINS Pair with requested ROOMMATES Thank-you notes – email, or handwritten

CHIEF REFEREE #1 Decision Maker US Rowing’s SAFETY REP. If unsafe to continue racing, the Chief must pull the plug. If Chief stops the race, Chief instructs USRowing referees to leave. US Rowing’s insurance coverage ceases. Adjudicates protests or issues of fairness.
