Kenta- I usually pay a judges stipend to help cover travelling costs for judges. The stipend depends on the size of the meet. I.E. the Gator Invitational with 300+ lifters will yield a greater stipend than the Fall Classic with 30-40 lifters (right now I have 4 entries in my hand).
All Judges can expect:
1. Meet Shirt
2. Hospitality Room with Snacks, meals, and drinks
3. Hotel Room for One night (if you must travel over 100 miles)
4. Judges Stipend (for all Certified Judges)
* Drive Stipend- judges who travel 100 miles or more each way
1-25 lifters in meet:
$35.00 if you drive
$20.00 if you didn't drive
26-50 lifters:
$40.00 if you drive
$25.00 if you didn't drive
51-75 lifters:
$45.00 if you drove
$30.00 if you didn't drive
76-100 lifters:
$50.00 if you drove
$35.00 if you didn't drive
101+ lifters:
$55.00 if you drove
$40.00 if you didn't drive
I realize that some of our judges are not yet certified and
will may be taking the USAPL test at this meet. I will pay a stipend but am not sure what I can afford. For example, if 9 lifters want to take the test and pass I know that I can not afford to pay all of them as if they were certified judges.
Also I will do my best to have entry forms for the USAPL State Meet on hand for the meet and posted on this web site soon after.
