Requirements
for upgrade and which category mat official may
officiate where:
The
following changes to our Mat Policies and
Procedures were approved at the next General
Membership meeting in
Fargo.
1.
To be promoted to Category M2, mat officials
must be at least 17 years old during the USWOA
Membership Year and their high school class must
have graduated.
2.
17 year old officials still in high school will
not be allowed to officiate at the University
Nationals, Junior FILA World Team Trials, Junior
National Duals, Cadet National Duals and the
Olympic Regional Trials. They may still
officiate at the Schoolboy/Girl National Duals,
Kids/Cadets Regionals and the Junior Regionals
if it is necessary for the conduct of the event.
3.
A Category M3 official may officiate at the
Cadet/Junior Nationals if they are 17 or more
years old, their high school class has
graduated, have been a USWOA member for 2 or
more years and are eligible for promotion to
Category M2. This means they have worked a USAW
regional or national championship event and are
familiar with mat procedures. They must also be
recommended by their State Chairman or State
Officials Director.
