Technical official

As part of the requirements for the FISO World Championships, it is mandatory for each participating country to send at least one Technical Official (TO) to the event. This is crucial to ensure the fair and consistent application of competition rules, as well as to maintain the integrity of the championship.

‍

Requirements for participation:

  • One Technical Official per Country: Each country is required to send a qualified Technical Official to the FISO World Championships.
  • Role of the Technical Official: The TO will be responsible for assisting in the smooth operation of the event, ensuring adherence to FISO rules, and supporting the officiating team in managing various aspects of the competition.

If your country cannot provide a technical official:

If your country is unable to send a Technical Official to the event, it is essential that you contact FISO as soon as possible to make arrangements. FISO will offer training opportunities for Technical Officials leading up to the next championship, to ensure that every nation is represented by qualified individuals.

We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring the success and fairness of the FISO World Championships. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
