Patrick Webster is a long time national referee and referee instructor. He is also the former chair of referee development of the Referee's Comission of USA Fencing.
This seminar/roundtable is being offered in person to any who wishes to participate. We will examine calls, actions, rule application, and strip management for athletes, coaches, and referees. If you'd like to submit a touch for discussion please meessage the youtube link with the touch in question, or email alexgioiella@gmail.com with a clip you'd like to discuss.
For everyone participating in person, we ask that you bring your fencing equipment so that you can act out actions in person as well as help to create opportunities for others to referee calls and get real-time feedback.
This is a great opportunity for anyone taking the referee seminar offered by Patrick Webster the previous day, February 28th. https://www.askfred.net/clinics/e1cb98d3-1fa7-4786-9b25-f7bff502821c
