As part of our mission to expand the sport of Steinholding to a larger audience, we have built this publicly-available directory of certified USSA Steinholding Judges listed below. The goal of the directory is to make it easier to connect prospective competition venues with experienced judges, and all judges who complete the USSA judging certification have the option to be included in this directory. Creating and maintaining the directory is a service provided by USSA to help support the Steinholding community, so please note that USSA is not responsible for, and does not specifically endorse, any communications, activities, or relationships between certified judges and other persons who may contact them as a result of their participation in the directory. USSA does not mandate any requirements for payment between a competition venue and a judge, but if you choose to contact someone from this list, you should plan to compensate them in some way for their time and expertise. When contacting a judge, please use the subject line "Steinholding Judging Help Needed" so that your email stands out for them.
Our Judging Certification program is open to anyone who would like to enroll, and the program can be completed within a day by most people with a base level of knowledge of the sport of Steinholding. If you would like to become certified yourself, please check out the program details and registration information on our Judging program page here.
