Who

The course is suitable for first time judges wishing to get into judging at grass roots / Interschools/ SSA slopestyle level as well as experienced judges looking to become certified to judge at International FIS, TTR and WST events. Prior experience in judging, coaching or as an athlete is required. This is the second national double sanctioned (TTR/FIS/IJC) clinic and everyone can extend their current judging licences or get their C license to judge at National Level.

What

A two-day judging clinic with 2 of the world’s best judges. Ola Sundekvist and Iztok Sumatic. Between Ola and Iztok they have judged every major event on the World Snowboard Tour, including the US OPEN, X-Games and the Olympic Winter Games.

The Judging clinic will run through the processes and technical understanding required for freestyle snowboard judging.

At the end of the clinic and upon successful completion of the accreditation judges will receive a C license for both TTR and FIS, which will enable them to judge at National Level events globally. Any judges with an existing C License can attend the clinic and do their B License or International level certification.

By attending this clinic, judges will go onto the SSA judges database and become eligible for appointments to judging panels for domestic events. Those who pursue a B license or higher will be eligible to judge at World Cup events. The judge pathway established from last year’s inaugural clinic has allowed judges to pursue Olympic Winter Games and World Championship judging appointments.
