Taking the Referee Test
Answer all 50 test questions. After completing the test, submit the test by selecting "Submit Answers". The test will be automatically corrected and you will receive your results automatically via the email address you provide. For the referee test, a copy of your answers will also be emailed to the Referee Chair. Use the rules from the Domestic Competition Rules, not the Badger Region modifications for the online test.
Making Corrections
The email you receive with your test score will also indicate which answers you got wrong. These questions must be corrected and include a rule reference. The email will indicate that you need to send the referee test corrections to the Referee Chair Note: Jr. National and National referees are no longer required to send corrections to USAV but are still required to send them to the Badger Region Referee Chair.
After you have completed the test corrections satisfactorily, the Referee Chair will notify you when your test requirements have been completed. The Assigner (Larry Schoenick, BadgerOfficialsAssigner@yahoo.com) will also be notified that you have completed your test requirements in order to be able to officiate for the 2011-2012 season.
You must complete your test requirements and all the other requirements prior to officiating any events sanctioned by the Badger Region. All referees must complete the referee test by February 15, 2011 and have corrections completed by February 15, 2012.
