A few details to note:

The Judges Certification Program is divided into four sections called Modules:

Competition Directors may optionally offer the WBTF International Cup events at their Open competitions. They may offer these events in either a critique or a scored situation. Since their are no official WBTF scoresheets for these two events, the CBTF Technical Chair has issued the attached Directive for Competition Directors choosing to offer these events at their competitions.

When entering the WBTF International Cup and International Cup Qualifier, it is the responsibility of coach and athlete to enter the appropriate International Cup level based on the athlete's true proficiency of skill and experience.

WBTF rules are in place to ensure a fair and equitable competition at the International Cup, particularly in the B divisions. Any athlete who has placed in the Semi-Finals or Finals at a World Championship in any event may not compete in any B Level event at a WBTF Cup competition.
