Refereeing at Satellites and Non Nominated JWCs

Last Updated: 2nd February 2025

All GBR referee sourcing and administration for all FIE Satellites will be undertaken the by GBR Support team.

BF will not source referees for non nominated JWCs. BF will provide assistance to athletes by contacting relevant GBR FIE referees in the event that 5 or more athletes have entered a non-nominated JWC competition.

The athletes concerned must organise this between themselves and inform head office in order that British Fencing registers the referee for the competition with the FIE.

All financial arrangements are privately organised and agreed in advance by the referee and athletes. Athletes are expected to cover the expenses of the referee’s travel, accommodation and meals in line with BFs expenses policy. BF will not be responsible for any failure of financial recompense between said athletes and referee.
