Bill Fitkowski has done a tremendous job as the OO scoring director for several years. Without him we would not be where we are today and we might still be scoring events manually. Bill has finally decided to retire fully and focus on some of his other passions.
In order to continue providing quality events with electronic scoring we are looking for a team of 4-5 people to be trained as Scoring Directors and Event Referees. A larger pool means we can split up events and avoid burn out. Ideally some people will be trained on both positions so they can rotate.
Each event will require a 2-3 person team. The preliminary event tally is 15-16 races.
These positions will be well compensated with a flat rate for the day plus expenses. (we have increased the pay rates for 2017)
We will also need someone to store and tow the trailer to events (for a fee).
All applicants must be available for a half-day training session with Bill F. in the spring.
