Recertification Logs and OTS

February 8, 2010

Hi Folks!

As many of you are aware, OSI has begun using the USA Swimming Officials Tracking System (OTS) to replace our referee's (post) meet report.  Replacing the meet report with OTS makes the post-meet reporting easier, and it allows the referee to update the OTS meet/session tracking for all officials attending a meet.  One advantage of the referee entering sessions for officials is for the official who is new to the National certification program (N2/N3).  When an official first applies for National certification their information is already loaded in the system so they won't have to go back and enter years worth of deck service.  Another advantage is that officials who are already accustom to updating OTS will no longer need to do this; the meets are now pre-loaded in OTS and the referee needs to simply add names and sessions.

The future plan for OTS, when the system is capable and OSI can determine a process, is for OTS to replace the officials recertification log.  This change is not in place at this time so all officials must continue using the old school recertification log to track meets and hours worked.

If you have any questions about the system or process please contact your Area Chair or send an email to me.

See you on deck!

High School State meets

January 24, 2010

Hi Folks!

Stroke and turn officials will be needed at the three High School State meets.  The meets, one each for 6A, 5A, and 4A-1A, will be held on February 19 and 20 at Mt. Hood Community College.  Teams are being built now and if you plan to attend it would help the meet managers to know this in advance so you can be placed into the rotation. If you plan to attend one or more meets please contact the appropriate referee(s):

6A - Judy L'Roy - email

5A - Joe Dahl - email

4A-1A - Gene Mielke - email

Please consider working at one or more of these meets, the High School Championships are a lot of fun!

See you on deck!
