[[clubs|club]] and [[tournaments|tournament]] [[directors]]
are certified, and should have the new system in place by
August June 2009. It [[NSA]]-sanctioned directors are automaticallycertified already as [[NASPA]] directors. Certification fornew directors will probably look like this:
# Applicant pays a fee to [[NASPA]], obtains access to a written online test.
# Applicant passes online test, or fails and has to pay an additional fee after a waiting period.
# Applicant is granted apprentice director certification, and can codirect tournaments under supervision of a mentor. At the discretion of the mentor, this supervision may take place in person, or by telephone. Mentors must be fully certified directors; applicants may choose their own mentors, or may ask to be assigned one.
* Update of this web page to fully describe new system.
People who are interested in becoming new [[NASPA]]-certified directors should contact [[Mary Rhoades]] to be
put on a waiting list of persons waiting to undergo the new process. NASPA Committee members who
are interested in helping implement any of the above should join the [[Tournament Committee]].
