North Texas JBQ Officials

Well-trained, godly officials set the tone and keep the order for each quiz meet.  We believe we have some of the best officials right here in the North Texas District, but every official needs to review the rules regularly. 

Use these tests to help train your officials, and encourage your officials to become members of the Circle of the Sword (see sidebar.)

Officials Certification

In order to officiate at the North Texas District Finals (or beyond), an official must be certified.  Officials must recertify every other year.

For 2009-2010, the North Texas District is using Kentucky's online certification test for officials.

• Kentucky's Certification Test for Officials
  
• Contact your area coordinator for password

Here is the online Minnesota Officials' Certification Test.  If this test is required for officials at National Finals, be sure to print a few copies of your certificate.

• Online Certification Test
  Request username and password from your area coordinator or our district coordinator.

Any North Texas District official who has been certified and has also earned at least one of their JBQ Seals may become a member of the elite Circle of the Sword!
