Officials End 2009 Giving Back to the Community
On New Years Eve 2009, 20 local Area 8 officials gave of their time by helping out at the Denver Rescue Mission. It was an eye opening opportunity for both the officials involved as well as the homeless seeing a whole new side to basketball officials OFF the court. For a full details, read the Article by Ron Brown here (coming Tuesday).
Qualified Evaluator List posted
On the right under “Evaluation Links” you will find the current list of all evaluators that have taken the class or indicated that they are interested in helping fellow officials with evaluations. These are both the Peer and Certified Evaluators, so if you request a Certified Evaluation, it will be one of the people on this list.
If you are looking for someone to do a peer evaluation, and you see one of these folks is working the game after yours, be sure and give them a call or shoot them an email if they can make it earlier to help out.
We will update this list at the end of every month.
NEW!!! Equipment Exchange Created!!
If you are looking for a place to sell, trade or give away your uniforms or officiating related equipment, feel free to use our new page under About Area 8 to the right. Just list what you are getting rid of or what you want with a contact information (number or email) and lets see if we can’t bring people and stuff together!!!
We all have a closet full of stuff that could be put to good use one way or another. Check back regularly to see if what you’re looking for is there!

RECORD NUMBER Pass the test!!!
In a record setting year, 111…yes that is correct One Hundred Eleven…folks showed up Monday Novemeber 2nd to complete the IAABO Certification test. And not only was that a record number, but the percentage that actually passed is one of the highest rates as well!
- 45 Officials are now Certified (scored 100-86) 40.5%
- 30 Officials are now Provisional (scored 84-76) 27%
This is an incredible percent and included in that were 6 people that scored a perfect 100%!!!
All officials are to be congratulated for their hard work and the Regional & Area directors and Dave Smith are to be commended for their efforts this year in getting these folks through the class and studying. This means were going to need more mentors!
Area 8 would like to welcome you to the Association, and we look forward to the rest of you passing in the near future!

Evaluation Forms are now posted
The 2009 Evaluation Form will be the document that we would like to have printed out and taken to the game with the evaluator to assess the officials game performance. This will be the form that we ask to be sent in to the Committee to be tabulated.
The Evaluation Criteria document is where the Form’s totals are listed and these numbers and comments will be posted on the officials ArbiterSports account.

CO Recruiting Video Released!
Be sure and check out the latest project between CHSAA and Colorado Board #4 produced by the State Recruiting and Retention committee showcasing our own Area 8 officials in action! The video will be used where ever we can get it in front of those folks that need to step up and join our organization. Be on the watch as we will hopefully use spots on CET during the regular season as well.
If anyone needs a copy of the CD please contact Doug Frueh or Dino Coniglio from the committee or ask CHSAA for one or just feel free to copy the YouTube link! Make sure you thank all these people for the hard work that they put into this project!
