OFFICIALS: VIRTUAL SILVER JUBILEE REGATTA
February 8-17, 2022, Virtual
It’s an event like no other. You are the chief judge of a fictitious regatta and every problem that you every dreamed of encountering has happened. There are an unbelievable amount of problems, protests and requests for redress. It is a true window into what a chief judge at an event might encounter.
This is similar to the Black Cat Regatta which “ran” in 2020 and 2021. The seminar runs for four nights, and it is highly recommended that you be able to attend all four sessions: Tuesday, February 8 and 15, and Thursday 10 and 17 from 7pm-9pm (EST).
The cost is a mere $20.00 for four great evenings. Homework will be required prior to the seminar and the next three nights.
The course will be run by Katie Coleman Nicoll and Wendy Loat with a maximum is 16 students.
