COMPETITIVE SCENE
SUPER OFFICIALS' CLINIC


Water Ski Canada has planned a super officials' clinic for 
mid to late June, likely at the Ontario Sports Centre and 
using the Bond Lake site.  The clinic will be offered to 
judges, calculators, drivers, technical controllers and 
chiefs of competition and will incorporate both classroom 
and practical experience gained at the record capability 
tournament which will follow the clinic that weekend.

	Record capability level officials  from across Canada 
will be invited to the clinic (judges & drivers levels 3+, 
calculators Level 2+, all chiefs and TCs).   Because the 
tournament is part of the training experience, only the 
following divisions will be offered:  Boys, Men 1, 2 & 3, 
Girls, Women 1, 2 & 3.  The tournament will be classified 
as Standings List or, where possible, World Record 
Capability.

Wendy Rutherford will co-ordinate the judges and chiefs 
of competition sections, Peter Person will handle

	There will be a registration fee for the clinic, likely in 
the $35 area.  The standard $10 charge to write the 
National Officials' Exam will also apply.  

	More details will be available soon and all qualified 
officials will be contacted directly.  If this format is suc-
cessful, consideration will be given to repeating the 
Super Clinic at a western location, likely in 2 to 3 years. 
	This is a wonderful opportunity to get lots of Ontario 
officials moved up the officiating ladder.
