WSF World
and International Referees are considered to be the best
Squash Referees in the World. Nominated by their
National Associations and approved by the WSF Review
Board on a biennial basis, their experience and
knowledge are an asset to any event.
It is
certainly our experience that those tournaments where
WSF Referees are appointed suffer significantly fewer
problems from a refereeing point of view. WSF Referees
do not only attend to officiate - they can also give
assistance and advice to your Tournament Referee during
the course of the event and many of them can conduct
refereeing clinics and carry out assessments for the
benefit of your national referees.
HOW
MANY ... do I need to invite?
This
depends on the grade of the event. Both the PSA and
WISPA recommend the use of a certain number of World and
International Referees at their events:
Of course,
there is a financial commitment on the part of the
tournament promoter when you invite WSF Referees to your
event. The following minimum expenses must be covered:
1. Return
travel from referee’s home to the tournament venue
(including travel to and from airport on outward and
return journeys)
2. Hotel bed and breakfast accommodation
3. All additional meals
4. All necessary travel between the hotel and tournament
venue
5. Personal travel/medical insurance
6. Visa fees
7. Cost of any injections/medication considered necessary
for travel to the country where the event is taking
place
8. Additionally, WSF Referees are to be paid US$50 per
day, to cover out of pocket expenses, for the duration
of their assignment.
HOW ..... do I contact
WSF Referees?
All requests for WSF
Referees should be passed through the WSF Office so that
allocation of events can be made fairly. If you are
interested in inviting WSF Referees to your event,
