Can a level 1 YMCA official be a starter?  If no, are there special circumstances to this?

To be a Starter, an official must be certified as a level II official. To perform the duties of a Starter at any officially sanctioned YMCA meet an official must hold the Level II certification.

Thank you for the response.  Then how does this apply to dual meets?

The rule applies in the same manner, no matter what the meet. Generally, Level I officials are our newer officials and do not have the requisite exerience to act as a Starter or Referee. If the host team does not have any Level II officials for a dual meet and the visiting team does, then the visiting team's Level II officials should be used in the roles of Starter and Referee.
