While I was the Area D rep I was charged with selecting the PRO and judge (if I could get one) for the semi-final. I also was responsible for finding a host club for the semi-final, it would be nice if yacht club review info was available. The best I could do was find a list of judges and PRO's that were in my area. There wasn't a resume for me to review so there was no way for me to know what I was getting. Certified all, but I've been around long enough to know that just because you're accredited doesn't mean your compitent. Due to the lack of this information I had to rely on word of mouth basically someone saying "yeah, they are good". Maybe it's a control thing but if I'm going to be held accountable I want to know what I'm getting especially if we're going to be on the hook for some or all of their expenses.
