Competition Regulation – IDBF interpretation of article CR4.3 Club Crews
On the 3rd February 2024, the IDBF Executive Committee approved the new interpretation of the Competition Regulation 4.3 as a guideline for club crews and national federations to follow leading into the next CCWC in Ravenna, Italy this year.
The purpose of the interpretation is to reduce any grey areas and, if any specific situation is not covered, members can ask the IDBF Competition & Technical Commission. The intent is to help the integrity of our members and the spirit of the “club crews” championships.
