INSTRUCTIONS
Following
questions are part of the ERNA umpire training. Cases describe a situation that
can happen during the competition. Answers can be found from the umpire
material – operations orders, training documents, SOPs and similar.
The
task is to find out “What should I do” for each case. In some cases, there is
only one way of doing it. However, for many of the cases there is more than one
right answer. The main thing is to be able to explain (to yourself, but
especially to the competitors) WHY you are doing what you are doing in the
case.
