JUNIOR ADVANCED REFEREE AND SCORER LEVEL OFFICIATING TEAM BENEFITS
If a team has a Advanced Junior Scorer* working as the scorer AND an Advanced Junior Second Referee* working as the R2, the requirement for an adult to be working at one of the work team positions is waived. The rostered adult would still need to be courtside. The Scorer and R2 must display proof of certification to the first referee for the match in order for the waiver to apply. This would include the card or patch they were given when they were certified. If the proof cannot be displayed courtside before the match begins, the requirement is not waived. For more information on Advanced Junior Officials ratings, click here.
*Advanced Junior Scorers and Advanced Junior Second Referees are those individuals which have already received their required number of reviews & signatures from various referees/scorers throughout the season AND have already successfully completed their formal evaluation (received their patch and certification card) at a Florida Region Sanctioned tournament.
If you have any questions regarding these procedures, please contact the Florida Region Officials Chair, Darin Clark , Scoring Representative Vickie Hinkle, or the Officials Coordinator, Sue Wainio at sue@floridavolleyball.org.
