For each competition, the Federation establishes an executive committee according to preparation and delivery needs, and appoints project roles such as Competition Chair, Event Project Representative Chair, Vice Chair, Competition Director, Executive Committee Chair and Executive Committee Member. Every project role relates to the specific work of that event cycle and expires automatically when that competition ends.
The Federation establishes relevant project roles according to the preparation and delivery needs of each competition. Appointees participate according to the tasks, categories, regions and working period determined for that event.
Competition Chair, Event Project Representative Chair, Vice Chair, Competition Director, Executive Committee Chair, Executive Committee Member and other project roles apply only to the recruitment, preparation, organisation and delivery work of the relevant competition.
Competition project roles are working titles for the relevant event. They are not equivalent to a director, chair, representative director, permanent responsible officer or external agent registered by the Federation as an incorporated association. When using a project title externally, an appointee must state the relevant competition, event cycle and project scope. An appointee must not act as a formal director, chair, representative or authorised person of the Federation as an incorporated association.
A competition project role does not itself authorise an individual to negotiate externally or make commercial commitments on the Federation’s behalf. Co-sponsorship, joint hosting, recruitment of sponsors, contracting, receiving or making payments, external collaboration in the Federation’s name, and commitments concerning a future year or event cycle all require prior formal authorisation and confirmation through the Federation’s official channels. Unauthorised personal contacts, commitments, agreements and transactions do not represent the Federation; the Federation neither recognises them nor accepts responsibility for them.
Competition enquiries, partnership proposals, co-sponsorship, joint hosting, sponsor recruitment, contracting and payment matters are received, registered, assigned and confirmed through the Federation’s official channels, creating a clear and complete project record.
Members, judges, competitors, sponsors, schools, media, suppliers and other third-party resources may be used only for the specific project, purpose, region and period approved by the Federation. Contact details, introductions, proposals, commercial information and collaboration opportunities obtained through the Federation are coordinated by its designated responsible person.
Each competition executive committee is dedicated to the work of its own event cycle. Project roles take effect once that event’s working arrangements are confirmed and expire automatically when the competition ends; no separate resignation procedure is required.
A subsequent year, event cycle, country or region, competition category or other competition is treated as a new project requiring separate confirmation. A previous project role or authorisation does not continue automatically and does not constitute a commitment to collaborate on a new project.
After a competition, the event team completes the handover of materials, accounts, credentials, funds, collaboration records and follow-up matters according to the Federation’s arrangements. All authorities for that event cycle end when the handover is complete.
After a competition, International Judges Federation (Japan) assesses achievement against the records of that event cycle and may issue electronic certificates of honour to those who completed their responsibilities and to contributors with outstanding achievement in that event. Recipients may retain and display their personal recognition independently.
一般社団法人国際審査員連盟 (International Judges Federation (Japan)) holds the final authority to interpret, amend and implement these rules. The Federation’s latest published rules and the relevant project-confirmation materials are the common basis for implementation.
Official Rules
Competition project personnel work to the allocation for the relevant event cycle; external collaboration and commercial matters are confirmed through the Federation’s official channels.
