ANNUAL GRADE MAINTENANCE
| Back To Upgrade Main |
|---|
Once a referee has advanced to a higher grades he/she is required to demonstrate continued qualification for the attained grade through "maintenance" assessments and sustained high level competition experience. These requirements are specified in the Referee Administrative Handbook and more fully by the Massachusetts Requirement for Advanced Grades. A review of the testing results and other requirements are reviewed as part of the annual registration/recertification qualifications. When referees fail to maintain their qualifications they are "downgraded" by the MSRC until the advanced grade requirements are met.
