This seminar is sponsored by the US SAILING Race Management Committee and the Atlanta Yacht Club. It is designed for people with some race committee experience who wish to become certified, or maintain certification as a US SAILING Certified Club Race Officer. It is also an excellent course for those who are interested in race management even if they do not wish to participate in the US SAILING race officer certification program. This seminar is the best way to learn how a race should be run. Race committee experience is helpful but not required. The topics to be covered include race committee objectives, competition formats, sailing instructions, race committee jobs, race committee equipment, race day preparations, setting the course, starts, during the race, finishes, post-race responsibilities, and scoring.

The principal instructor for this seminar is Means Davis, an International Judge, a US SAILING Senior Judge, and Regional Race Officer. He is also a member of the US SAILING Judges Committee and Chairman of the US SAILING Judges Training and Testing Working Party.

At the seminar, you will need your own copy of the "Racing Rules of Sailing" - available at http://ussailing.org/rules. If you own a copy of the "US SAILING Race Management Handbook", please bring it as well. All other materials, including a copy of "Join the Race Committee Team", will be provided. Participants should also complete a set of race management study questions - available at
http://www.ussailing.org/racemgt/documents/RMStudy-Basic.pdf

Bring the results with you to the seminar. The Club Race Officer Certification Test will be given at the end of the seminar and is optional. However, to be certified under US SAILING's race officer certification program, you must attend a complete basic seminar and pass the test. You will also need to have your own copy of the current "US SAILING Race Management Handbook" and meet the program's other criteria.

The fee for this seminar is $30.00 and includes a continental breakfast, morning and afternoon break refreshments, lunch, seminar materials, a copy of "Join the Race Committee Team", instruction, and test administration.
