<DIV>Racketball tournaments have the same problems in getting players to
referree. What has worked the best IMO is exactly what you
suggested. The $$ was considerably less. It seems there was always
the player trying to make up some expenses and was willing to ref if no one
wanted to. Enough matches goes along way towards hotel expenses
etc.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>At the Nats, someone may not want to practice, may just enjoy judging etc
etc. Increasing the entry fee with the rebate when you show up to work
is a great motivator. You may even see an increase in the pilot
volunteer pool.</DIV>

week at the Nats, I had a talk with Nats event director, Dave <BR>Guerin
about judging no-shows. On the very first morning, Dave had at <BR>least
three no-shows (F3A pilots who were supposed to judge the Master <BR>class).
You can imagine the frustration of trying to reschedule pilots <BR>to cover
for them, not to mention the delay in getting the events <BR>started. This
was not an isolated case. It happened over and over <BR>during the week.
Some just forgot when they were supposed to judge. <BR>There were even some
who were scheduled to judge on the third day, who <BR>decided to leave after
two days and didn't tell anyone.<BR><BR>We discussed having a "$50 judging
rebate". It would work like this: <BR>In addition to the normal entry fees,
$50 would be collected. If a <BR>pilot showed up to perform his scheduled
judging session, he'd get a <BR>$50 rebate. If a pilot didn't show up to
perform his scheduled judging <BR>session, the replacement judge would get
the $50. BTW, the normal <BR>stipend for pilots who perform extra judging
sessions is $30. <BR>Comments?<BR><BR>Ron Van
