Examining Stage Rally Marshal

(Brown Badge/Brown Dymo 'X')

The marshal should already hold both the Stage Timekeeper and Stage Operations grades and must have held those grades for a period of at least two years. During that time they should have regularly worked in the roles of stage timekeeper and in all aspects of stage operations, including gaining experience of working as a Stage Commander on a number of events up to and including National 'A' status.

Subject to meeting the above criteria, the marshal may then apply to the National Grading Administrator for upgrading to Examining Stage Rally Marshal. The National Grading Administrator will then send a questionnaire to two Examining Stage Rally Marshals of the BRMC's choice. These questionnaires, when completed, will be examined by the BRMC National Committee. After due consideration, upgrading to Examining Stage Rally Marshal will be confirmed, deferred or refused. If upgrading is refused the marshal will be given appropriate feedback and may re-apply in a further twelve months.

In order to maintain standards Examining Stage Rally Marshals will be required to attend at least one Stage Operations or Stage Timekeeping training day every two years. Anyone not conforming to this rule may, at the BRMC National Committee's discretion, have their examining grade removed. The BRMC National Committee may require examining grade members to attend a special examining members seminar, in which case, this would count for the above requirement. In the event of a marshal having their examining grade removed under this ruling, they may re-apply for the examining grade in a further twelve months.
