There was a great deal of discussion in the seminar room as the APB/WSB Supervisors and R&Js workshop continued today with the two final oral sessions before the written examination. The main topics were duties, authorities and rights of the Referees and Judges in a professional refereeing style and the APB Technical and Competition rules. The WSB professional style of referring will be continued in APB competitions. The Supervisors and R&Js conveyed in depth analysis of referring and judging mechanics and different scenarios of fouls and the rules that apply to them.

"Today's session demonstrated the passion that the R&Js and Supervisors have for the sport and their commitment for ensuring that the rules are fair, equitable and clearly understood by all participants. It is a challenging and important exercise for all to go through, and as a result all these participants will be better R&Js and Supervisors "AIBA Technical Delegate and WSB Supervisor Tom Virgets said. "This workshop is a proof that AIBA's mission is to govern boxing in all its forms. AIBA is making a tremendous step of moving towards unifying all the rules and regulations for all its competitions while keeping the safety of boxers in the forehand" he continued.
