== Referee training ==

=== Basic Marshal Orientation ===

The Basic Marshal Orientation programme was associated with early PBAS efforts to develop local tournament officials.

It formed part of a wider approach to safety education and competitive paintball development.

The available sources do not provide the full BMO syllabus or assessment criteria.

=== SPS Referee Level 1 Certification ===

The SPS Referee Level 1 Certification was documented in 2010.

Nine participants attended the two-day course conducted by Junaidi Kalil.

The participants subsequently officiated at the Singapore Paintball Series tournament.

The programme was intended to establish a common standard for local officials.

The available sources do not establish the complete examination process, renewal requirements or higher certification levels.

=== Practical tournament experience ===

SPS Referees developed their skills through officiating local competitions.

The March 2012 Rookie Challenge provided practical experience in an introductory tournament setting.

The July 2012 Singapore Paintball Series required officials to administer more advanced competition, including Race-to-2 games.

The progression from introductory tournaments to national-level competition was an important feature of the programme.
