Patrol Assessment Competition Overview
The Patrol Assessment Competition is conducted by the SNB Branch each season. This competition allows Clubs to compete against each other for cash prizes and measure their compliance to their lifesaving agreements and standard operating procedures.
Throughout the season a number of inspections will be done at each Club. These are completed by volunteer assessors who agree at the beginning of the season to do one inspection at each of the 21 Clubs throughout that season. Once completed these assessment forms then go to the SNB Branch Office where members are checked to ensure they are proficiency in their listed awards. If any member listed in the awards section is found not proficient in that award the relevant points for that award will be deducted from the final score.
Scores are then totalled at the end of the season, with the Club with the highest point score being announced as the winner for that season. Clubs in the top 7 places receive cash prizes.
- 1st place - $6,500
- 2nd place - $4,500
- 3rd place - $3,500
- 4th place - $2,500
- 5th place - $1,500
- 6th place - $1,000
- 7th place - $500
