For those of you who haven’t had the opportunity
to interact with the Fellowship Committee, let me give you a brief description
of our function. The Fellowship Committee consists of a handful of National
Scorekeepers or Junior National Referees whose job is to coordinate the
ratings of all referee and scorekeeper candidates at all designated Rating
Fellowships. We conducted all Rating Fellowships using the new Rally Point
Scoring system this year (2 games to 25 and 1 to 15). One major benefit
of using this scoring system is it is supposed to control the overall lengths
of matches. Perhaps this means we will not need to use timed games
at fellowships anymore, but we reserve the right to change our minds on
that one if the matches do not stay contained within an hour time-frame.
I enjoyed seeing all of you at fellowships
this year. There is a lot going on from the referee and scorekeeper
point of view and I hope all returning officials will jump right in with
an open mind and the same enthusiasm you brought to officiating the first
time around.
