Referee Clinics

Guidelines for hosting a Referee's Clinic will be as follows:

1) Referee Clinic Sanction Form

Any person wishing to put on a referee clinic must fill out a Referee Clinic Sanction Form and mail, email, or fax it to the Referee-in-Chief in with the following information. No clinic will be sanctioned until all of the following are confirmed:

   A) time, date, and place of seminar
   B) name of CAWF representative
   C) names of 3 confirmed evaluators
   D) name of 2 confirmed table personnel
   E) type of seminar being requested 'A' or 'B'
   F) Seminar secretary

2) "A" CLINICS

In order to hold an 'A' Clinic whereby all levels of referees will be evaluated, at least two (2) Master referees and one (1) Level III referee must be present. Both Masters must have had previous experience evaluating a clinic. Also one of the evaluators must come from outside the province where the clinic is being held. No person can evaluate and be evaluated at the same clinic. Table personnel who will be acting out the various situations must have at least 3 years armwrestling experience.

"A" Clinics will only be held at Nationals each year.

   Any person who wishes to be tested for the level of Master Referee must obtain a Master Referee Request Form from the CAWF. This form must be completed before being tested.

3) "B CLINICS"

In order to hold a 'B' Clinic whereby spotters, Level I, Level II and Level III referees will be evaluated, at least 1 Master Referee and two (2) Level III referees must be present and have had previous experience evaluating a clinic. No person can evaluate and be evaluated at the same clinic. Table personnel who will be acting out the various situations must have at least 2 years arm wrestling experience.

This will ensure consistency through-out the seminars and ensure that the C.A.W.F. standards are being met. These people will be responsible for all material being completed and returned to the C.A.W.F. Secretary.

5) The cost to enroll in a referee seminar will be as follows:

   $40.00 First time
   $20.00 to upgrade

6) Nationals will host a Referee Clinic for anybody wishing to become a Level III or Master referee only. This clinic will have a 10 person maximum by appointment only. Preference will be given to those least able to make a clinic.

7) The cost of hosting a clinic will be the sole responsibility of the Hosts. All monies collected from the clinic registrations fees will be split 50/50 between the hosts and the CAWF. This split will be after all reasonable expenses , such as hall rental, cost of bringing evaluators to the clinic, cost of paperwork, etc... All expenses must be verified. The C.A.W.F. will set up a separate bank account for this money so that it can be used for referee related costs. Refereeing will be self-sufficient. We will keep a separate set of books and have annual income statements made available at the general meeting at each Nationals.

8) Clinic Check List
