§ 60-3606 Definitions.

This rule explains two terms used in the law. An "athletic official" is someone who enforces the rules during a game or sport, like a referee or umpire. This covers anyone whose job is to make sure a game follows its rules.

"Officiating" refers to the judgment calls these officials make while a game is happening. This means decisions the official has to make on the spot, using their own judgment, as part of running the game. These definitions matter because they set up who counts as an official and what kind of decisions are protected under this law.
