Camp Format:

Officials will work 3 innings and then be given feedback. A second crew will flop start/finish the next time they are on the field.
Focus of this camp will be on field performance at the Collegiate level.
This year the Camp will have a 2-tier structure.

Twelve officials will be accepted as Campers to learn the rudiments of the 3-Man System.

All other Campers are expected to be proficient in the three-man system, well-versed in the NCAA Manual, and very familiar with the NCAA rule book before coming to this Camp.

Critiques will be focused on the finite differences that separate extremely successful officials from the pack.
NCAA Mechanics & Rules will be used.
In order to provide campers competition that will closely mirror what would be seen during an actual NCAA contest, games will be between Arizona Junior Colleges (several National Championships) and ASA Gold teams.
