>>The USA Luge National Officials Course is a weekend course, and it
will be given in the fall. The date and location are currently being
discussed<<

John Mowry usually gives the officials’ classes. We might be able to arrange a special ADK class if we paid John’s expenses and if it was held closer to John’s Rhode Island home than Lake Placid so he could do it in one day without an overnight stay. Every slider should take at least the national level officials course I think. The rules have a lot of subtle aspects that aren’t relevant to recreational or club sliders (none of us have to worry about how big our sponsor’s logo is on our speed suit, for example) but every slider should thoroughly know the rules. You might enjoy being a race official too, it’s quite rewarding.
