Dear National Affiliated Colleagues,

As a result of the new examination rules for Category 2 referees, Affiliated National Federations must send their nomination requests to the Referee Registrar by the time of the preliminary nomination.

The nominated applicants will then be processed by the IPF Referee Registrar. At the end of the assessment and selection process, notification will be passed back to National Federations for onward notification to their nominees.

Notice of examination can only be decided once the final nominations have been assessed. You will appreciate there may be a large list of preliminary nominations that need to be assessed before the final nomination selection is decided.
