Becoming an Accredited Referee
Attending a state referee seminar is the first step in becoming an accredited referee. The four-levels of accreditation include Emerging, State C, State B, and State A.
After attending a state referee seminar, the next step is to complete a number of online referee exams. Details on these exams will be provided at the conclusion of the referee seminar.
Each year, in order to maintain or progress through the various levels of referee accreditations, referees are required to attend a minus number of tournaments, referee a minimum number of bouts as a centre referee and table official.
