EB Motion #03-24 – To Approve the slate of Judges for the 2024 USCA Working Dog National Championship (WDC)
Motion by Nathaniel Roque, DOJ, on behalf of the USCA Judges Committee, seconded by Mike Diel, DAL and Judges Committee Member, to approve the slate of Judges for the 2024 USCA Working Dog National Championship (WDC)
- (Tracking) – Trevor Elcock, USCA
- (Obedience) – Robert Johantgen USCA
- (Protection) – Dieter Horst Trager.
Background: Based on the USCA Judge Program Requirements, the USCA Judges Committee has reviewed the applicants and USCA judges that are eligible to judge at the 2024 WDC and taken strongly into account the judges that the host club requested for the event. This slate includes 2 of the host club’s requests.
In a unanimous vote, the Judges Committee recommends this slate of judges for the 2024 WDC as qualified and able to provide an excellent and fair evaluation in each of the phases they are responsible for judging.
All judges selected have either judged at Championship levels in their selected phase or have completed a birichter in that phase and judged other phases in a National Championship.
The USCA Judges Committee intends to always provide the best-qualified judges for our championship events and always attempts to use USCA Judges as our first selection. This slate of Judges includes two USCA Judges who are not only highly qualified to judge a championship event but have actively judged over the past three years and attended the last Judges College, as well as a highly respected SV Judge who has judged at the WUSV world level.
The Judges’ Committee of their choosing may also appoint a Head Judge to oversee the event on-site. The Head Judge for this event will be selected prior to the close of entry date.
The Judges Committee may also appoint a Bi Richter in at least 1 phase of the event to continue to prepare a larger slate of USCA Judges for future Championship Events. The USCA Judges Committee will make USCA Judges selections for “Bi Richter” in each phase based on eligible USCA Judges with the intent that they will be selected for future events.
