2009 AMA Congress Competition Proposal

Proposal:

The Referee is the principal officer of a meet, acting as general supervisor. He does not, however, carry out the duties of any other official. The Referee must be introduced at the rider’s meeting and be available throughout the protest period. It is the promoter’s responsibility to appoint a Referee who is well qualified. The "event" Referee may not compete in the meet.

Reason for proposal:

Adding "event" to the last sentence of the paragraph, clears the way for other Referee's who don;t have a direct connection to the event, to ride the event, such as District Referee's and series Referee's. Currently, as the rule reads, no AMA member who is a District referee or series referee can ride their events
