During the Season
When preparing a roster of officials for a meet, the COC should ascertain which officials need deck evaluation at given positions, and which officials need to have PTR’s completed for their next level. It is not always possible to accommodate everyone’s wishes, but it is important to provide as many opportunities for evaluations as possible. It is imperative to remind candidates that deck evaluation at any position is only possible if the evaluator(s) (attending Senior and Master officials) are aware of the potential certification before the session begins.
Submit all level change notifications to the Regional Officials’ Representatives as they occur.
It is the COC’s duty to ensure that the appropriate pin presentations are made.
The Level III pin may not be presented without the Regional Officials’ Representatives’ approval.

ODP Clarification
The following are the questions most frequently asked: The family count only includes active "competitive"
families. Requirement does not apply to development or regional
meets. Term “development” referred to non-competitive meets
“Alumni LIV/ LVs” must declare with a single club for the year, and must agree to work meets hosted by the declared club.

Organizing Officials
Minor Official Co-ordinator and/ or Meet Referee are usually assigned to staff the Officials for your swim meet. COC can assist with official information
Their duties: If necessary, ask for help in your meet package and
have the clubs send their list of names / phone numbers / and qualifications along with their entries
Divide responsibility between senior officials and local Officials Chairperson to arrange for officials
In any event, have the majority of the positions filled before the start of the meet.
Confirm status of officials’ assignments to the ROR’s 10 DAYS prior to meet
Publish schedule and assignments as soon as it is finalized
© Copyright 2013-2017Ontario Swimming Officials’ Association
60
Minor Official Co-OrdinatorArrange 2 - 3 spare Timekeepers on call in case of sickness or no-shows.
Organize the Officials Room with required supplies for that session
Designate a person to greet and sign-in the officials as they arrive, direct them to the heat sheets and equipment needed for their position and answer any questions. All officials working a session must be recorded
Have all positions posted in the Officials' Room. If there are openings for other sessions, officials can sign-up where
they see the empty positions.
