Technical Qualifications for HQ and HA Tournaments and Accreditation (updated Feb 2025)

All Candidates for Foundation Lead and Development Lead assessment shall be available to officiate for the duration of the tournament, with the provision that some latitude may be allowed if there is a valid reason why the candidate cannot be present for a small percentage (not more than 20%) of the tournament (e.g. family illness or travel difficulties), however this does not include work commitments unless hardship can be demonstrated, and further that candidates are expected to apply for leave in good time to attend the tournament to be available for assessment and candidates must, unless there are exceptional circumstances and prior exemption is given, attend the Technical Meeting and preferably the Managers’ Meeting as well.
