The need for theoretical and practical training of judges of various categories to ensure the success of competitions and events

Abstract

To date, with the departure of the World Series, there has been a decrease in interest in judging and volunteering in motor sports. Also, with the growing number of amateur, municipal, regional and all-Russian competitions, as well as disciplines and training groups, there is an acute shortage of qualified judges of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd categories to work at a distance, SU, secretariat, technical commission. At the same time, competent training and testing of the acquired knowledge in practical classes are fundamental factors in ensuring the safety of pilots, staff, spectators, as well as preventing injuries and minimizing damage to racing equipment and sports equipment, regardless of the level at which competitions are held. The article provides statistics for 2019 and 2023, a comparative analysis of data on the number of different categories of judges in the framework of the Moscow Region Championship in automobile and ring racing. Recommendations are given to correct the situation with the lack of refereeing staff at competitions.
