Scorer's Training/Certification Classes
The Penn-Del League recommendations for timing resolution have been modified. All teams will be expected to adopt the new process so that all meets are scored in a similar manner. It is strongly recommended that each team have a minimum of one certified scorer. Scorer credentials will be posted on the league website.

Record of Meet Experience
In order to qualify to re-certify, an official must have worked at least twelve (12) sessions over the three-year certification period. (A session is defined as a either dual meet or a session at an invitational or championship meet.) This form can be used to document the sessions worked. It should be completed for each session and signed by the Referee. It must then be presented to the instructor at the re-certification clinic.

This form will also serve to document sessions worked for purposes of a Level I official qualifying to take the Level II Certification Clinic. Download Record of Meet Experiences form.
