NYS Class Size Requirement
NYSCJA Safety Reporting
- Safety judges are required to report all warnings and safety infractions within 3 days of the competition.
- Only Violations and warnings that actually occurred during the performance need to be reported. Warnings/violations given in the warm-up area are for the benefit of the individual team so they have the opportunity to avoid the deduction on the mat.
- All submitted infractions and warnings can be found on the NYSCJA Judges and NYSPHSAA Committee Only page
