We are going to nominate in due time a Judging Committee composed by 6 members. This Committee will be in charge to train and coordinate the Referees activities, solve any problem or doubt related with rules, logs, and scores and to maintain accuracy on the Scoreboard. Inserting the Cabrillo files into the main computer server is also its responsibility, as well as the log checking activity.
