UCSC Officiating Commitment

UCSC OFFICIATING COMMITMENT

Please click here to see the UCSC Officiating Commitment that includes a list of swim meets.

Swim Meets Hosted by UCSC

Swim competitions are run by the parents and therefore all UCSC families are required to officiate at swim meets hosted by UCSC. Please note: meets may change, UCSC will let membership know as soon as possible if there are any changes. UCSC maintains a system of “points” to ensure that officiating is shared equitably and encourage parents to become qualified in advanced positions. Please note, policies may change.
Accountability

We maintain a system of “points” to ensure that officiating is shared equitably and to encourage parents to     become qualified in advanced positions.

1.      Points owing are calculated twice per year March 31 and July 31 for all UCSC Families

•     the fine for failure to complete the officiating commitment is $1.00 per deficit point and this will be charged to your family swim account on both April 1 and August 1

•     if an official no shows (unexcused) for the position they have been assigned, or a family does not sign up for a mandatory officiating meet, the penalty is $5.00 per assigned point

•     points are reset to 0 on April 1 and August 1

•     points must be worked at the assigned meet; banked points will be capped at 300 (exception: chaperone points)

•     all families must sign up to officiate at the mandatory meets (surplus points MAY NOT be used at      these meets)

•     workback point opportunities may be available throughout the season but can only be earned in designated workback point positions, emails will be sent out from the office about these opportunities

•     please read through the officiating policy for more information
