    Judging learning opportunities

    Larry,
    You can volunteer to be an Observer Judge (OJ) and "look over the shoulders" of the judges. This is the best option if you have little or no judging experience. Figure on spending most of the day at this. One can do this on either or both of the days of judging. You can generally help the class you prefer, and in the area (interior, mechanical, chassis or exterior) you wish. Most Team Leaders will let you switch from area to area as well. There will be an OJs meeting on the morning of judging around the time of the owner's meeting. Look up Roy Sinor at that time and he will explain the drill and direct you to the appropriate team leader.

    If you already have some judging experience the item that is listed as Judging Seminar (with times in both morning and afternoon) is a good option. This is what is normally called the Advanced Judging School, and is made up of two-part sessions. For full credit one must attend both sessions. This is geared toward folks with 10 or more judging points. A sign-up form for this will be available at the registration desk.

    There is sometimes also a judging school (lasts for an hour or two) on the afternoon before judging. In the case of Florida, that doesn't yet show on the schedule of events. You might want to check when you register to see if they are having such an event. They have in the past, but with the new location I'm not sure.

    BTW: This information applies not just to Florida, but is applicable to most regional meets. Sometimes due to the logistics of the location, and available people, one or another of these judging learning opportunities are not offered at a given regional, but most try to offer all of them.

      Judging learning opportunities - Amplification

      On re-reading my post I have noted that I failed to mention that in order to take advantage of these judging learning opportunities one must register for the meet.
      Larry, I'm not suggesting that you were not going to register - no offense is intended. A lot of folks read these posts and it is hard to write them so that everyone gets all the information they need to make their visit enjoyable. See you in Florida. Please stop by an say hello, I'm always up for a chat. My heritage, you know.
      Terry
