JUDGES GUIDE TO CONCOURS PARTICIPATION
Being a Certified JCNA judge is a lot of fun, but also carries with
it a lot of responsibility. The job needs to be done well and
with a high level of consistancy and care. In this regard, I have
developed a short tutorial on the elements of being a judge and
particular elements from
the Official JCNA rule book that are most pertinent to the judges task.
In ordered to be prepared for your judging assignment, it is
important that you are well informed and prepared. To that
end, the following will assist you in performing at the
expected JCNA level.
Please take advantage of the following information, and especially
be prepared to take the required JCNA Judge's Test. This is
an important part of obtaining your certification as a JCNA
authorized judge. Once certified, your credentials are good for
three (3) years.
Thanks for participating as part of the judging team.
Sincerely Yours,
Wayne Estrada

Online JCNA Judges Test
All judges are required every three years to become certified by
taking the JCNA Judge's Test. You can easily become
re certified for another three years by re taking the test.
There are 50 questions
with 10 being fill in the blank based on deductions
of set points
in the rule book.
The test is open book, there is no time limit, and
you can take the test as many times as you like.
Test results are automatically emailed back to me.

General Rules for the Judge," chapter 5, "Judges Guide for Jaguar Evaluation," and
chapter 6, "Judge's Guide for scoring non authenticity."
The rule book is the heart of JCNA judging! The better you know the rule book,
