*OBRA Officials Training, 2014*

Salem, Oregon

We are pleased to announce an upcoming OBRA officials training for new and
novice officials. If you have ever thought about becoming a cycling
official, now is your opportunity to get introductory training. We will be
covering core material as well as material specific to referees and judges.
Through both classroom instruction and break-out sessions, you will learn
the basic skills need to officiate at OBRA events.

Every OBRA team needs to have at least one team member who is a trained
official.

*Who is a Referee? *A referee is the person in the car following the
racers, enforcing rules, and making things happen. Referees organize the
race starts and do the bulk of the communication with the riders.

*Who is a Judge?*
A judge is the person at the finish-line. They are responsible for tracking
and placing riders, scoring, timing, generating and posting results.

*What:*
OBRA Officials Training. We will be focused on training officials to work
road and mountain events. This will prepare officials to work road races,
stage races (criterium, time trials, road races, and mountain bike events).

*When:*
Saturday, February 1, 2014, 10am - 4pm.

*Where:*
Salem, Oregon. The training will be held at the Kroc Center, 1865 Bill Frey
Dr. NE, Salem.

both referees and judges.
