To approve the slate of Judges for the 2024 USCA National Championship

EB #09-24

EB Motion #09-24 – To approve the slate of Judges for the 2024 USCA National Championship.

Motion by Nathaniel Roque, DOJ, on behalf of the USCA Judges Committee, seconded by Michele Elmore, Secretary, to approve the slate of Judges for the 2024 USCA National Championship.

  1. (Tracking) – Ken Trouton, GSSCC 
  2. (Obedience) – Don Yelle,  USCA
  3. (Protection) – Robbie DeJong, Netherlands 

Background:  The USCA Judges Committee recommends this slate of judges for the 2024 Nationals 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 or World Championship.

The USCA Judges Committee intends to always provide the best-qualified judges for our championship events for the benefit of competitors, the sport, and our breed.

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.

(Per the Performance Judges’ Program (Section 16G) we will submit the Judges separately in 3 ballots.  Voting is confidential.)

Please feel free to discuss this motion before voting

The proposed slate of judges for this event are:

  1. (Tracking) – Ken Trouton, GSSCC 
  2. (Obedience) – Don Yelle,  USCA
  3. (Protection) – Robbie DeJong, Netherlands
