The members of this panel have gone through training endorsed by the ISI national office. Each referee is a current ISI professional member, gold certified judge, and ISI Certified Referee.

Each competition will be supplied with a referee for the duration of their competition to ensure quality judging and rule interpretation.

In order to continue supplying each competition with qualified individuals, an additional $2 per competitor and $15 per team is added to each entry fee to support this program. (Some competitions include this fee in their registration fee.)

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The Niles Park District is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in a safe manner and holds the safety of participants in high regard. The Niles Park District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions that are designed to protect the participants’ safety.

In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the Niles Park District to guarantee absolute safety.

I have read and fully understand the above important information, warning of risk, assumption of risk and waiver and release of all claims. If registering on-line or via fax, my on-line or facsimile signature shall substitute for and have the same legal effect as an original form signature.
