REFEREE ADVANCEMENT
Referees attain their initial certification levels through classes.  C4B and higher certification levels are attained through experience.  Credits are accumulated by performance on referee job assignments.  More important jobs at more important tournements result in higher credits being earned.  The hightest referee classification awarded by PTI is that of PTI Certified Instructor.  Credits may be lost by conduct infractions reported to PTI.  Referee certification levels will be posted on the PTI website.  Details of an individual's class grades, experience reports, and conduct infractions are confidential just as any school transcript, and will be released only with permission.
