Volunteers Needed!!

A Message from our Volunteer Coordinator! 

Bedford Express will be hosting a FRC District competition on April 3rd - 5th,  2014. To make this a successful event, we need your help! For some positions, volunteers are needed early in order to receive proper training. We are in need of a minimum of 4 referees for the event. Below is the official description of a referee:

"Referees observe team matches, identify rule violations, and “call” them.
They calculate the official score of the matches and participate in deliberations
regarding contested calls. Referees work under the direction of the Head
Referee. They play a critical role in ensuring smooth flow of match play and
maintaining the pace of the even"

Anyone over the age of 18 can volunteer for this position (Parents, relatives, teachers, co-workers, neighbors etc).

There is a video to watch for training, a short training manual to keep on hand, and a online test that is required for certification.

Registering early for this position also gives the volunteer to learn more at the events BX will compete at. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions well before our event and have a better feel for the rules.

Volunteers interested in this position can email me at ssmithmich@gmail.com

Thank you for your consideration!

Sandy Smith
Volunteer Coordinator
