Section 8: Validity of License and Compatibility

1. The continental license is valid for 3 years and can be renewed if the referee has participated in a new referee course or a refreshment course on a competition of the continental union and has refereed at least 2 competitions of the continental union in this period, with positive observation reports and stamps.
    
2. The world license is valid for 3 years and can be renewed only if the referee has participated in a new referee course or a refreshment course on a JJIF-Competition and has refereed at least 2 JJIF-competitions (also World Championships and World Games) in this period, with positive observation reports and stamps.
    
3. If the referees meet the mentioned requirements, their license will be renewed for 3 more years.
    
4. A referee who does not meet the above mentioned requirements cannot judge any competition. In order to obtain the license again then he must pass the required theoretical and practical tests. If he does not participate to the course and/or do not pass the tests, at the end of the 3 year period he will be automatically declassified to the lower class (from world A to world B, from world B to continental A, from continental A to continental B, and from continental B to national).
    
5. The referee position is incompatible with that of team coach or competitor.
    
6. The position of national delegate or member of JJIF-Board or union boards is not compatible with the qualification of referee. Therefore, referees elected to these positions will be temporarily suspended as referees.
