IJF 2009 New RULE CHANGES

We have just received the attached email that may well affect your decision to referee at the 11th WMJC, we sincerely hope it does not.

Please will you advise me of your decison so that I can call additional referees if needs be.

We will understand your decsion if you decide not to referee as the impact could be considerable if USA Judo wishes to take sanctions
against you and we hope it does not come to that.

We, the WMJA are here to promot masters judo we are not here for the politics, unfortunately it is something we cannot avoid.

For those volunteers who have applied for the first time this year and not yet been confirmed, please bear with me.

Until I have confirmation from the WMJA Select Referees and the Chief Referee of the numbers of local referees available I cannot
select the additional referees that I will need.

I will let you know as soon as I can, thank you for your patience.

Kind regards

Roger

WMJA Referee Coordinator
