Step 1:
Identify the fellowship(s) at which you intend to get rated, keeping
in mind the following priority structure:
First Priority: Called for appointment, playing in the fellowship.
Second Priority: Called for appointment, not playing in the fellowship.
Third Priority: Did not make an appointment.
NOTE: You MUST begin your ratings within 3 to 4 weeks of
taking the clinic!! You do NOT have to wait for your scorekeeper exam to
be completed before getting ratings.
Step 2:
Call or email the Head Rater listed on the Fact
Sheet under the column "for Appointments, Contact:", no
later than Monday 10:00pm before the fellowship. If you call
after Monday, you ARE NOT guaranteed a rating spot (no exuses).
Have the following information available:
-
Clinic attended - site and date,
-
Number of scorekeeper ratings still needed (Original requirement: 2),
-
Number of referee ratings still needed (Original requirement: 3),
-
If playing, team name, any pool/court/match time information available,
-
If not playing, time span during which you can be at the fellowship.
If you have to leave a message, please be sure all of the above
information is included, AND SPELL YOUR LAST NAME or risk it appearing
spelled phonetically on the schedule! Also be sure to specify (and
spell) your email address, if applicable.
NOTE: Most of the Head Raters prefer email as a method of communication
– use this as the means of contact unless you do not have email access.
Step 3:
You should expect to be contacted with specific information regarding
your rating appointments between the Wednesday before and the day of the
fellowship.
Step 4:
If you are not playing in the fellowship, be sure to arrive at least
one half hour before your first scheduled match. Check the Master Rating
Schedule posted at the fellowship for last minute changes.
PLEASE NOTE:
The December 2nd tournament is for "finishing up"
ratings only. You must have received ratings (successful or otherwise)
at a previous tournament in order to be given an appointment at this tournament.
The only exception will be given to those candidates whose team is playing
in their first fellowship of the season. All referee candidates MUST
have completed at least one rating prior to December 2nd. Do not
expect to get the majority of your referee and/or scorekeeper ratings on
this day.
