Who wants to be a referee? Start here by taking this test! -> https://forms.gle/PdDCVA86Na2ynir36I am delighted to have been talking with Michelle Soldan and Paul Soldan about referee training, and we are planning an in-person training class. Date is to-be-determined but we are feeling sporty and want to get the first class offered soon. This test is a pre-requisite to the in-person class, and anyone is welcome to take it, regardless of whether you plan to attend the class. Many thanks to our own JC Bitseff as well, for his dauntless refereeing in our local events. Three cheers for JC! (edited)Want to sharpen your knowledge of the rules? Thinking about becoming a referee? Or maybe you just want to feel more confident at the table? This class is for you!

📅 Saturday, October 25th
📍 Meeker St Bar & Grill – Kent, WA
🕙 Doors open at 10 AM — come early for some practice and brunch! We’ll have four 7’ Diamond tables reserved for hands-on work.

✔️ Open to any APA member interested in learning the rules in depth.
✔️ You don’t have to be pursuing referee status to attend.
