Code of Practice

In Lausanne 1999 the WBF developed a Code of Practice for Appeals Committees, which was subsequently revised in December 2001.

In addition, a number of Example Appeals were added to assist Tournament Directors and Appeals Committees alike, together with a set of Guidelines for Appeals Committees.

These documents are provided here in Acrobat (PDF) format, so that they may easily be printed and, we suggest, kept in a ring binder for ease of reference. They are formatted so as to allow them to be photocopied or printed double-sided.

As new Examples or Guidelines become available, they will be put on the site, and details will be given here to ensure that you are aware that they have been added. It will be a simple matter to print these and add them to the file.

Email List

We run an email list for Tournament Directors and Appeals Committee Members so that I can easily keep you informed of anything to do with Laws, Appeals etc. If you wish to have your email address added to this list, please email me and I will ensure that you are included.
