Attention all GSSCC Certified Trial Helpers.

Effective immediately the Board of Directors has approved the following addition to the Helper Program Section 13 Helper Conduct:

Any certified Helper that is found to be complaining about the helper selection process for a trial (whether by Judge or Selection Committee) or for not being selected to perform helper work at a trial, will be sanctioned due to unsportsmanlike conduct. These complaints include, but are not limited to, face to face, phone call, written format, email, text and social media.

The sanction for this unsportsmanlike conduct will be 15-F Helper Level Changed - the helper will be moved down one classification in the Helper Program (for example a national level helper would become regional level) for a period of one year.

It is unfortunate that this has become necessary however as stewards of the GSSCC and IGP sport it is critical for helpers to always act with professionalism and a high degree of sportsmanship.

The amended helper program is available on the website.
