WHAT IS A SPHERE ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The judge program is made of thousand of judges, all willing to share their knowledge, to involve themselves and give their time to the community. After a huge census of all projects, the Program Coordinators created the new spheres to group them in themes. It should help common projects to work together, and have a direct referent in case of any issue.<\/p>\n

The goal of spheres in general is to exchange methodologies and techniques between the projects that are grouped together, thus achieving an advantage over them being (non-sphere) projects.<\/p>\n

WHAT IS THE LEARNING SPHERE ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p> Mission:<\/em>
\n“Provide judges with tools to improve skills that they need at tournaments”<\/em><\/p>\n

The learning Sphere tries to gather documents and written materials that facilitate the improvement of judges online. It can be about rules or policy, or even more tournament oriented skills, like investigations or reviews. We tried to have an exhaustive list of judge projects related to learning, and list and sort them in this blog.<\/p>\n

It does not include regional learning projects at the moment, but if you run a regional project that you think worth being expanded to an international one, please reach us at spheres.learning@gmail.com.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of challenges in a sphere like the learning one, as a lot of judges are interested either to create a new project to share their passion, either to learn in order to improve. The main idea of the sphere is to be able to find online answers to your questions, whatever the topic is. It can be articles, tools for tournaments or guide to learn the rules. It also helps mentors or judges willing to start a new project to look into a database of projects.<\/p>\n

Coordinating all projects related to the learning theme should help for several purposes<\/p>\n
