Trainings for judges during World Skydiving Championships 2022
The outcome of the competition and its reputation depends on the decision of the judge committee. If the judges are suspected of fraud, then the reputation of the tournament will be significantly damaged. That is why all judges should periodically undergo training and re-evaluation to remain a professional referee.

In 2022 as part of the 4th World Championships of Speed Skydiving, which take place in the USA, Eloy – Arizona, FAI will re-evaluate those who have a judge rating in Speed Skydiving. Chief Justice Arnold Hohenegger will conduct the scheduled test from 19 to 27 October 2022.

F.A.I. Judges Training Courses in Speed Skydiving 2022
In addition to re-qualification during the autumn tournament, there will also be referee qualification courses. The course takes 4 days from 18 to 22 October and will be led by Bert Ham. This is a great chance to improve and demonstrate skills and confirm all this at the international level.
