2007-2008 NATIONAL COURSES

This page is maintained by Ken Achiron


We anticipate having information on the Fall National Judging Courses by Labor Day. This year being the second year with these rules, we anticipate producing our materials to help our membership learn the rules as quickly as possible.

Toward that end , we are planning our courses for no earlier than middle October forward. As each Association informs me of the dates we will post the information for you.

For a full National Course, the usual format is instruction on the rules, along with practice judging on the first day, with a written and practical exam on the following day. Exact times will be determined by the course directors. Refresher courses may have a different time table. The Association and the technical director will determine the needs.

Here are the courses already announced. More information to follow as received. Dates may change as some courses may have been set in advance for one day or two depending on what rules information is in our hands at the time.


The following is a list of National (and some J.O.) Courses offered by the NGJA this year. All judges must certify each year. Please check with the course contact person. All courses listed are for the National Card unless specifically designated J.O. Course on this list.
