The IWRF Technical Committee has reviewed and updated the processes taken for candidate referees to become a certified international zonal level referee.
There were several aims the committee wanted to achieve:
- to move away from candidate referees appointed to zonal championships, ensuring we have the best officials on court for tournaments that are so important to teams wanting to qualifying for Paralympic Games and World Championships
- adding opportunity and recognising that there are several high level tournaments around the world which play under the current IWRF rules which can give referees the opportunity to be evaluated at
- ensuring candidates have the minimum standards in fitness, rule knowledge and on court performance prior to being evaluated
The updated policy, application form and list of tournaments candidates have the opportunity to be evaluated at can be found here – https://iwrfofficials.com/candidate-application-process/
