2 Dear Coaches, 2017 U.S. NATIONAL JUMP ROPE CHAMPIONSHIP JUDGE AND VOLUNTEER NOMINATIONS You as a coach need to nominate one USAJR certified judge from your team for every four jumpers that you have competing. All teams are required to nominate judges, but not all nominated judges will be selected. Judges are selected based on level of experience and the need to create judging panels that are regionally balanced. All judges that you nominate MUST be planning to attend all days of competition (June 28-July 1), and they must be willing and able to judge if selected. Judges and Officials must be current USAJR members. As stated in the 2017 USAJR Competition Rulebook, p. 26 Section 301, teams are required to provide a ratio of judges to jumpers as follows: 1-4 jumpers: team must supply a minimum of 1 judge (any level); 5-8 jumpers: team must supply a minimum of 1 Level 1 judge and 1 Level 2 judge; 9-12 jumpers: team must supply a minimum of 3 judges, one of which must be a Level 2 judge; The number of judges continues to increase as the number of jumpers increases. If a judge only judges speed and not freestyle, that judge is counted as ½ judge. Similarly, if a judge only judges freestyle and not speed, that judge is counted as ½ judge. The ratio must remain such that two ½ judges count for 1 judge. Exceptions will be handled on a case by case basis by the tournament director. Teams will be assessed a fee of $150 per judge for each judge below the minimum requirement that is not supplied at the national tournament level. If you are nominating a judge or volunteer who is also competing at Nationals, please be sure to include this information, indicating which events the judge/volunteer nominee is competing, when submitting your formusa Jump Rope is once again running this event by utilizing volunteers from every region and there is a volunteer requirement similar to the judging requirement. Every team must nominate one volunteer for every eight jumpers. These volunteers are in addition to the judging requirement stated above and they will be used in various capacities such as tabulators, check-in clerks, set-up and break down of the event, ushers, and other necessary tasks to make our event a success. Judges nominated but not assigned to judge may be used to help fill these volunteer positions. Judges and Volunteers may wear a plain white shirt or a USAJR judging shirt they already own. USAJR has judging shirts and zip-up hoodies available by pre-order for anyone wishing to purchase. This order form is included as part of this packet. Please fill out all of the information, and send a copy of this nomination form by your team s registration deadline to nationals@usajumprope.org. Please note that the deadline for all registration materials, including judge/volunteer nominations, is no later than two weeks after your regional tournament.

Box 569 Huntsville, TX A letter will be sent to you via in early June announcing the judges and volunteers that are selected. Please forward this information to your team.
