Qualified New York Combine and Affiliated Clubs Judges

The New York Combine requires that all judges at New York Combine shows must be approved, certified judges. To become an approved judge a new potential judge must go through a rigorous training regime involving completion of a series of judging seminars taught by the Combine's senior judges, and passing several tests based on knowledge of the Domestic Show Flight Standard and practical judging.

The New York Combine has one NPA Master Judge, President Sal Gigante, and two Senior Judges, Pete Fratangelo Sr. and John Thornton. Other New York Combine approved judges are Joe Monteleone, Pete Fratangelo Jr., and Bobby Simeone.

The New York Combine Affiliated Clubs also have New York Combine approved judges: John Heppner, President of the Western Domestic Flight Association, Carlo Parente, President of the Southern Domestic Flight Association, and Dom DiFiglia, also of the Southern Domestic Flight Association.
