SANCTION REPORTING PROCEDURES

Step One

Before requesting a sanction or sending information for invitational meets, send a request for judges to the State Judging Director and confirm availability of judges.

All Local, Invitational, Sectional and State Meets must be sanctioned for qualification and use of USAG insurance. Look in your Rules and Policies for a "Sanction Request form" in order to hold a sanctioned meet.
Sectional & State Host clubs should note sanctioning responsibilities in the appropriate section of this handbook.

After the meet is over:
Make sure all judges, all coaches and the meet director have signed the sanction. USAG numbers and other pertinent information should be on the form. For ease, we suggest that all coaches sign during the coaches meeting.

Step Two

1. Send the 1 copy of the sanction to the National Office within 24 hours.
2. Host Clubs of Local & Invitational meets - send 1 copy to the Regional Office within 48 hours. Attach a check for the competition fee of $1.00 per athlete in the meet.
