For officials
For decoys, judges, and trial secretaries.
Working officials are part of the federation, not customers of it. K9 Elements membership is free for active officials in good standing.
The roles
Three roles. One directory.
Decoys
TODO(jaden): protection-event decoy responsibilities, certification path, expected experience.
Judges
TODO(jaden): per-event judge certification, recertification cadence, eligible-to-judge prerequisites.
Trial secretaries
TODO(jaden): trial-secretary responsibilities, training expectations, club-officer overlap.
