Training with Us This is our old referee training plan, for reference. Learning the Rules and Standard Practices A) The WFTDA Rules (pdf) by the WFTDA Read through them as often as you can! There is also an online version here. B) The WFTDA Officiating Standardized Practices (pdf) by the WFTDA Read those once in a while to ensure that you officiate in the most standard way possible. C) The WFTDA Officiating Manual by the WFTDA Get it at the WFTDA website store, and read through it for a complete review of all the elements pertinent to officiating. D) The Roller Derby Test-O-Matic by Sausage Roller Think you know the rules? Prove it! :) A) The WFTDA Officiating Verbal Cues (pdf) by the WFTDA Read through this document to learn how to verbally call penalties. B) The WFTDA Officiating Hand Signals (pdf) by the WFTDA Read through this document to learn how to visually call penalties. C) The Penalty Generator by Montreal's Just Mo Call the background color, player number, and penalty. You can click or press 'Enter' to get a new call. Pressing 'Enter' and keeping it down is not recommended for those with epilepsy. But it's pretty awesome. Seeing the Action This is starting to be a little dated...
