Section 4: Referee Committee tasks


  1. The Referee Committee is responsible for educating new referees on its level and to organise refresher courses. It has to evaluate all proposals and suggestions coming from technical member delegates, in relation to referee matters.
     
  2. The International Referee Committee together with the Continental Referee Committee are responsible for the preparation of all teaching, tutorial and promotional material needed for a proper evolution and presentation of referee duties and activities to the new and existing Member Countries.
     
  3. The Referee Committee educates the referees (Continental Referee Committee the Continental Referees, International Referee Committee the World Referees and the Continental Referees where there is no Continental Referee Committee). All of them can give instruction in Fighting and Duo System. The Referee Committee writes the examination text and is responsible for the registration of new referee licenses and for the issuing of referee diplomas, ties and badges.
     
  4. The Referee Committee compiles a historical data base for every referee. It contains full address, country represented, licence, dates of examinations and results, behaviour, participation in referee courses and competitions, with evaluation score received. This in order to give the referee a judgement-capacity recognition (reward) or, when appropriate, penalty, suspension or a revoked license. A Continental Referee Committee is obliged to give these data to the International Referee Committee.
     
  5. Before a World Championship or World Games the Director of the International Referee Committee will send out a list of potential referees. This list will be sent to each country. Referees who are not on the list cannot referee at World Championships or World Games. The director for Continental Referee Committee will do exactly the same thing for the continental championships.
     
  6. The Referee Committee designates at each official Championship a number of "evaluators"; they will fill out an "evaluation form" in real time during the matches. The data will be evaluated after the Championship to feed the database.
     
  7. The Referee Committee are responsible for the correct preparation of material needed around the competition area (score boards, red and blue belts, red and blue half-sleeves, etc.), which make the activity of referees clear to the public during official competitions on their level.
     
  8. The Director of the Referee Committee is, on his respective level (JJIF or continental union) responsible for the Referee Committee's behaviour, for the correct rotation of referees during official championships and has control of the application of Referee Rules and Competition Rules during competitions. He reports to the Board the situation of referees and future plans. He represents the Referee Committee in question in any controversial matter.
     
  9. The Secretary of the Referee Committee has the responsibility of writing the minutes of the Referee Committee meetings and of keeping the Referee historical database updated. He must preserve all the meeting register books, referee registrations and other important documents. In particular he must file the "observation reports" compiled by the responsible referee, which contain remarks on the behaviour of individual referees at a specific official competitions (see Section 10, paragraph b).
