Is anyone seeing a real problem out there, or is this one of those feel good things that lawmakers and committees like to do? I haven't noticed anything in my area of the country, but of course I can't be at every table.
Step Letter
The intent of the 3 step system is for the improvement of Members with
the rules, regulations and procedures of KCBS. The intent of the KCBS
Board is not to eliminate judges or table captains, but to have judging kept
within KCBS guidelines. This is to help members, new and seasoned, to
be aware of rule changes by updating their education.
We would encourage all Judges and Table Captains to:
1. Review rules each year.
2. Take the Continuing Education questionnaire several times a year.
3. Review or volunteer at a CBJ Class and/or Table Captain Class each year.
4. Volunteer in the judging area to understand the complete judging
procedure.
These are ways you can stay up to speed with the current KCBS approach.
The following steps will be used to determine what would be the best ap-
proach to help CBJ’s and/or Table Captains to better their skills as a Judge
and Table Captain described as a three step program.
Should concerns of actions outside the KCBS rules, regulations be iden-
tified, contact to the CBJ Chair should be made with as much detail as
possible. And the Chair will thoroughly gain insight into what may have
happened. This will start the process.
During the process, A standardized form will be put into the Member’s
file for future CBJ Chairs to hopefully not have reason to refer to. Along
with the form, a statement as to the offense, the method of contact with the
Member, and the outcome of the contact. This is simply a record keeping.
What action or step number is determined necessary will depend on the
level of rules infraction. All possible situations are not able to be seen
ahead of time, but rest assured the Member will have the right to speak
to the BOD of KCBS.
Step 1. The Member will be contacted by the CBJ Chair who is a Board
member. The CBJ Chair might suggest reviewing the rules, taking the
Continuing Education test, review a CBJ/TC Class, review the “KCBS
Judges’ Code of Conduct”.
Step 2. The second offense: The Member will be required to take the CBJ
class at no cost to the CBJ but will not be fed. Proof will be provided to
the CBJ Chair that they met this requirement. Also required to take the
Continuing Education test and review the rules. There will be a follow
up by the CBJ Chair.
Step 3. The third offense, with Board approval in Executive Session, if
deemed necessary could create provisions that are established for a return
to active judging not to exclude removal of privileges or membership.
While we trust each and every Certified Judge and Table Captain with
the integrity and fairness with the competition process, this is designed
to help be a refresher and an opportunity for members to be updated on
the current KCBS approaches.
