Event Controllers

There are three levels of Licensed Controller (Grade A, B, and C). Their grade indicates the highest level of event where they can officiate (A=Major, B=National and C=Regional). 

Controllers' responsiblities:

• Ensuring the standards required for the event are delivered during the organising, planning, delivery and reviewing of the event
• The event and competition rules are adhered to
• Communicating with event officials using tact to influence the decisions the event officials take regarding the event
• Advice to event officials with regard to the potential pitfalls that should be guarded against
• Checking and advising on all aspects of the organisation of the event with the organiser and the planner
• Ensuring that the risk assessment has been carried out
• Ratifying the final paperwork for the event (final courses; course lengths and climbs; map corrections; control code allocations; course description sheets; overprinted maps)
• Providing feedback on all aspects of the event to organisers and planner
• The Event Officials handbook has information to support a controller in their role.

The club has four qualified event controllers.
