i know i’ll probably get these details wrong, but hopefully i’m close.
after passing a rigorous pre-selection exam, the chosen ones are brought in for the training, then complete an intense written and oral exam, followed by a practical exam.
passing these beasts qualifies them to officiate at fun things like the world championships, olympic games etc. i’m pretty sure I remembered hearing that there might be only one other person from mn ever selected.
bruce along with several other delightful chaps put a lot of effort into ensuring competitive racing in mn is possible, mainly for a love of the sport. basically, the guy’s a pro.
congrats on the honor, bruce and best wishes on the exam.
thanks for the pic, skib.

Thanks for the kind words and best wishes, Emily. I leave for Aigle, Switzerland on October 22. The course is 8 days long, starting on October 25. I'm honored, excited and just a little nervous about it (and currently taking a study break).
I may be the first Minnesotan to take the course, but most likely I won't be the last. Matt Moses is next in line and will probably go the next time it is offered.
Bruce
