These should be solid basis to build new teachers. 3- To reinforce the relationship we are already building with ASI as to create our own sector. This would help in defining our identity as a group and creating the independence we have been looking for. EUROPE As Head of Competition Commission, my purpose is to establish a written regulation which can help to follow a common guideline to level out all international competitions and avoid lots of problems which nowadays badly affect organisation of some championships. This is also the main point I am discussing about in my below thesis.

During these years I have been to almost all competitions organised by WVVF or EVVF, either as an athlete or as team leader and I have always found out that one important thing is still missing: there is no written regulation which can help to follow a common guideline to level out all international competitions and avoid lots of problems which nowadays badly affect organisation of some championships. My opinion is that written rules are clear, so everybody can learn and follow them without mistakes; they make organising committee work easier on all steps to arrange all details as rules needs to be followed by everybody. Moreover, a regulation will be useful to reduce misunderstandings, claims, disappointing situation before the championship and during it, as every team/every country knows exactly how to behave and how to handle bureaucratic procedures. Therefore my purpose is to give you an idea of this regulation, underlining all main points which should be clarified and explained step by step. I have divided my thesis in 5 chapters dealing with most important points which should be kept into consideration for a good organisation of an international championship. GIUSEPPE POLLASTRO 8 THESIS HONG DAI NHAT – VIETNAM 2016 CHAPTER 1 General rules for organisation 1.1 Competition Space Competition area is made of one squared tatami 9x9meters or 11x11meters. In the middle of this tatami there is a 1 square meter of a different colour compared to the external bigger area. Its main function is to show start and finish position in case of technical competitions. Outer border is of the same colour of middle square: it is the maximum limit where competitors can play their performance. For Quyen and Song Luyen it is still part of the competition area whereas for fighting this is the penalty area. For World Championship it must be used only one single competition area, for European Championships it can be used either one or two areas. On four corners and on the central side, it is necessary to place five tables with chairs for referees. Each table must have its own scoreboard. During fighting competitions it is necessary to add one more table as a support for the big screen showing total scores of the match. Tables must be placed at least two meters away from competition areas to give necessary space to all athletes. 1.2 Material At least 4 meters away from the competition area, organising team can place advertising billboards of maximum 80 cm height with sponsor logo and/or championship posters. In a central zone, well visible from all over around, there should be the administrative office and the race official: six tables for a total length of six meters with twelve chairs, microphones and speaker. Off course on the administrative office table there should be necessary materials to run the event: two PC, two printers and all kind of stationery. Near administrative desk there are chairs for all referees who are waiting their turn; when they are called, they go and stand in front of the competition area before entering on it as per WVVF regulation. 1.3 Doctor and Ambulance On the opposite side of referees, not too far away from competition area, it is compulsory to have a space for doctors and ambulance. At least one doctor must be always available for emergencies and cannot leave the competition. Only during break or in case of an injury he is authorized to leave his position. If doctor or ambulance are forced to leave the competition area, then it will be necessary to stop the competition till their return. 1.4 Warm-up area Finally, please do not forget the warm-up area where athletes can prepare themselves for the competition. It is extremely important that somebody from the staff stays there as to inform athletes about their turn and the starting time of each category. It will be useful to have an updated list of all categories, with starting time, names of competitors etc.. This report should be updated immediately if required.
