Good questions Rob, we should have covered this in the training.
At almost every race we offer mentoring for new officials. We even subsidize
this training and pay them. You would ride along at a road race, score at
the finish line of time at a time trial.
The process of appointing officials goes like this.
I send out a message on the Officials remailer asking for availability. I
then appoint a Chief Referee (CR) and let that person know who has
volunteered to work that race. It is then their responsibility to seek out
and fill all the open slots. Many try to fill from the regional area they
represent so that the race organizers are not saddled with excessive mileage
reimbursements. They will hold an officials meeting the morning of the
event and give out assignments and delineate responsibilities.
If you have upcoming, available time please let us know and we will work
with you to gain the experience you need to function as an official.

Subject: Re: [OBRA Chat] No CCX Judge Training and Rant
I attended the training held at HP in corvallis earlier this year. It was
excellent in terms of material and initial classroom prep for officiating.
I must have missed something however, and that is how do I take what I
learned and go work a race? I travel a bit during the summer, so my
schedule is hit and miss in regard to races, however I have no idea how I
sign-up to officiate a race. Do I contact the promoter, or do I await a
call from OBRA? What is the process, once trained, to actually officiate a
race? If I need to be more proactive and hunt down promoters, or OBRA
officials to keep my name in the hat for races I can work, I can do that, I
just need to know that I need to. Thanks to Seth and all the officials at
OBRA, I am willing to work a few and give you all a much needed break, just
need a little info on how. Thanks again. -Rod
