Level 1 Referee Course

Our Level 1 Referee Course will be taking place on February 8 from 6pm to 9pm, with the practical portion taking place on February 9th from 9am to 6pm!

We will also have our spotting and loading course from 9pm to 10pm for anyone who’s interested in helping on the platform as a spotter and loader!

As usual, the course will be taking place in the JCW Events conference room at the Ascott Sathorn Bangkok, however, the practical portion of the referee course will be taking place at the Thai Powerlifting Thailand Open!

The referee course is capped at 12 people. Demand will be high so please reserve your spot today!

Agenda:

1. All candidates MUST have the most current IPF rule book English version dated 31/12/18. All candidates MUST read the rule book many times and try to understand as much as possible on their own.
2. I will post questions on the TPF FB page to guide the learning. All candidates participate actively – participants have to answer the questions that I put up.
3. Practical session and on site discussion on 8th Feb.
   By this stage, participants should know most of the required information. The session is for them to clarify their doubts and for me to show what to look out for in real life.
4. Written test. Passing mark 60%
5. Practical test.
   Candidates will be rostered for the meet and will have to give judgement on the lifts. They will be assessed on their judgement calls.
