ORGANISATION

Members of FAI Jury and panels of judges for each competition are given in the annex. The list of judges which have been considered is the list valid for 2004/2005 (approved by the CIAM Plenary Meeting in March 2003).

In a World cup competition, any infringement of the Sporting Code rules concerning composition of a panel of judges could lead to the cancellation of the results for the class which is concerned. The only exception to be considered is the case of an obvious withdrawal of a judge at the last moment (exceptional circumstance).

FAI jury - Thecomposition of the FAI Jury is defined in paragraph B.4.1 of the Volume ABR of the Sporting code Section IV. In the case of International events the FAI Jury must include at least one CIAM Delegate or a person approved by his/her NAC. The other two members can be delegated by the NAC of the organising country but members of the FAI Jury must be from at least two different countries. The rules specified that members of the FAI Jury may not compete in the event except when the time table gives a sub-division into classes ; in that case, one or two members may compete in a class and must then be replaced by alternate Jury members (not competing in the corresponding class) for all matters involving that class. The alternate members must be chosen so that at all times the FAI Jury meets nationality and language rules.

Nothing is specified in paragraph B.4.1of the Sporting Code concerning possibility for a member of a panel of judges (F2B, F2C or F2D) to be also involved in the FAI Jury. A specific rule has been introduced in the Control Line World Cup rules which specify that aFAI Jury member involved in a panel of judges has to be replaced for that class (as FAI Jury member) by another eligible person.

F2B panel of judges - The rule 4.2.13 of the Sporting Code specifies a panel of at least three judges. Those judges must be of at least two different nationalities and be selected from a list of persons proposed by the National Airsports Controls for their proficiency and experience and approved by the CIAM. If the panel is composed of five judges (recommended) only three of them must be approved by CIAM.

F2C panel of judges - The rule 4.3.12 of the Sporting Code specifies a panel of at least three judges. The judges must be from two different nationalities and must have at least one language in common. Only two of them must be selected from a list of persons proposed by the National Airsports Controls for their proficiency and experience and approved by the CIAM.

F2D panel of judges - The rule 4.4.18 of the Sporting Code specifies a panel of three judges. The judges The judges must be from two different nationalities and must have at least one language in common. Only two of them must be selected from a list of persons proposed by the National Airsports Controls for their proficiency and experience and approved by the CIAM.

Some infringements to the rules concerning compositions of FAI Jury and/or panels of judges have been noticed :

-Svitavy (Czech Republic) - 19 and 20 June (F2D) : only two judges in the F2D panel of judges and those two judges were also involved in the FAI Jury.

-Dej (Romania) - 24 to 26 September (F2A) : only one judge in the FAI Jury.
