What does the umpire code of conduct and attire require?

Code of conduct (rule 11.5). An Umpire:

• maintains an obliging and professional manner toward regatta organizers and participants;
• handles all infractions in a manner that is firm, consistent and fair;
• abides by all RCA Policies;
• follows the directions of the Chief Umpire and keeps the Chief Umpire apprised of developments so issues can be solved quickly;
• is accessible to participants during all phases of the regatta.

Attire (rule 11.10). Jury members should wear the prescribed RCA uniform: a navy-blue blazer, light blue dress shirt or light blue polo shirt with RCA logo, RCA tie or scarf, and khaki or dark blue or black trousers, shorts, skirt or skort. Hats and rain or cold-weather outerwear should be dark blue. The Chief Umpire decides on dress, taking weather into account. Assistant and Associate Umpires wear a light blue shirt without an RCA logo.
