CCBC Race Organizers
RE: CCBC Minimum Mandatory Officials Qualifications Policy
Please note that the following policy has been established to meet Cross Country BC liability insurance and funding agency requirements.
Please also note that if you provide us with the name of the chief of competition for your events, we will check their qualifications on our officials certification database to make sure their records are in good order, and notify you if we find otherwise.
All competitions are to be administered under the supervision of an individual with the appropriate qualifications:
1. Competition Managers (Chief of Competition) of divisionally registered events/competitions/activities must be CCC Officials Level 1 certified. These are lower-level competitions which are not accorded sanctioning and where no Technical Delegate is assigned, for example Regional Cup races, smaller loppets, club races, etc.
- Competition Managers (Chief of Competition) of divisionally sanctioned events/competitions/activities must be CCC Officials Level 2 certified. A divisionally sanctioned event would be the BC Winter Games, or a major loppet.
- Competition Managers (Chief of Competition) of nationally sanctioned Tier 2 events/competitions held in BC must be CCC Officials Level 2 certified. A Tier 2 event would be the BC Cup Series, etc.
- Competition Managers (Chief of Competition) of nationally sanctioned Tier 1 events/competitions held in BC must be CCC Officials Level 3 certified. A Tier 1 event would be the National Championships, Western Canadian Championships, Nor Ams, etc.
