Referee Commission
Referee Commission
The World Para Fencing Referee Commission is responsible for training referees. It establishes educational programmes and maintains the different levels of referees for the sport. It supervises the functioning of the referees at all official competitions and the strict application to the rules and regulations by the referees.
The World Para Fencing Referee Commission will propose to the Rules Commission, if necessary, the modifications of the rules as a consequence of refereeing. It maintains a permanent file of referees, their categories, dates of their diploma and performance, and organises training seminars.
The Referee Commission makes proposals to the Executive Committee on which referees should be appointed to take part in official competitions, when they are required.
The members of the referee commission may not act as referees in official competitions.
