Events

The ORA presents the first of 2 Judge "Clinics" for the 2012 Season.

The first will entail a forum of our existing judges to evaluate rules, rule changes and examples of situations that have transpired over the past few seasons. With input from the current judging roster in addition to directors in attendance, a common understanding of each rule and its application will be developed so that each official may confidently judge an event knowing that their colleauges would make the exact same call. This will be an open forum, and mandatory of any official that is intending to judge an ORA Rodeo in 2012.

We look forward to working with our front-lines to assist in the improvement of the workplace.

Location: Lane Tree Farms, Rockwood, ON

The second will be a two-day applied learning (hands-on) session for new judges. It is desired that our approved roster of judges attends this session as well to assist in the development of our officials. With a mix of video review, classroom and arena time, this will provide our new recruits an abundance of attention and guidance into the rewarding field of rodeo officiating. All new recruits will be asked to read the ORA Rulebook beforehand so that time is effectively spent learning the greater aspects of being a Rodeo Judge. This date and itinerary will be discussed at the the first session in hopes of a collaborative effort with strong attendance of our veteran officials.
