Training for Appraisers will be scheduled in February. Each appraiser will be sent the rules of the challenge(s) for which they will appraise along with general rules for all teams and tips and training information for being an Appraiser. Training dates for each Appraiser team will be set in late January. If possible trainings will be done in person. Those who do not live in the Greater Gallatin Valley (Bozeman, MT area) will need to join the training via conference call or webinar. Your Challenge Master will be sending you an e-mail inviting you to the webinar with instructions on how to log in.

In case you are not able to access the webinar the training slides will be sent to you so you can follow along via conference call.
