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.

The CBTF International Cup Declaration Policy was established to support the WBTF Statement for Equitable Competition (Section 11, Page 2 of the WBTF Policy Manual):

It is the responsibility of the coach and athlete to enter the appropriate International Cup level based on the athlete's true proficiency of skills and experience. The WBTF expects that all member countries will respect and honor these levels in order to uphold the integrity of International competition and promote an honest competitive environment.

By reviewing the content restrictions that are in place, athletes should enter the appropriate level based on their proficiency and competitive achievement. Athletes who compete at higher levels throughout the year in their respective countries SHOULD NOT have routines "watered-down" in order to meet the content restriction requirement to compete at a lower level.

Deviations from this policy must be requested from the CBTF Technical Chair by the Declaration Deadline. Requests for exception will be referred to the ICup Declaration Review Committee, as established by the CBTF Executive. The Review Committee’s decision is binding.
