ARBITERS’ COMMISSION (ARB) Report to the 3rd Quarter FIDE COUNCIL 2020 (Online, September 30th, 2020)

The present report covers the commission’s activity in the period between May 27th, 2020 and September 15th, 2020. It was prepared in collaboration with Nebojsa BARALIC, Secretary of the Commission.

During the 3rd quarter 2020, while the main activity worldwide was still online, the work of the commission focused on the education of arbiters with a Pilot Refresher Course in July and updates of the training regulations for arbiters. Among the highlights for the period, new chapters for the Arbiters’ Manual were designed and our new website moved online. We also welcomed new members in the team. We wish to thank all members, arbiters and people from other commissions who contributed!

1) MEETINGS AND REPRESENTATION

a) ARB MONTHLY ONLINE MEETINGS

Two Monthly Online Meetings were hosted during the period: 4th Meeting - August 10th, 2020 5th Meeting - September 14th, 2020

A consensus was found to host the monthly meetings on a fixed time slot on the second Monday of each month. This will greatly help in the regularity of our meetings.

The level of attendance so far is particularly good, with 18 members out of 20 in August and 15 out of 20 in September.

As FIDE acquired a Zoom license for commissions, we also migrated to this corporate system to host our meetings.

b) CROSS COMMISSION MEETING ABOUT ONLINE & RC, TEC, SPP Objectives

On the 11th of August, an online meeting was held by the newly created FIDE Technical and Administrative Department (TAD). 2 topics were on the agenda: online chess regulations and RC, TEC & SPP objectives. The commission was represented by the Chairman Laurent Freyd and the Secretary Nebojsa Baralic. About Online Chess, a cross commission task force was formed with 1 member from each participating commission. The ARB Chairman will represent the commission in the task force, while several members volunteered to take part in the project and will be involved in providing inputs: Secretary Nebojsa Baralic, Honorary Chairman Panagiotis Nikolopoulos, Councillors Shohreh Bayat and Omar Salama and Member Alex McFarlane. About RC, TEC & SPP objectives, the team previously prepared a feedback summary and was mainly present as observer.

c) WORKSHOP ON ONLINE CHESS IN ARABIC LANGUAGE

Following the FIDE and ECU Webinar on Online Chess, a Workshop on the same topic was organized on the June 19th, 2020 by the Arbiters’ Commission of the Asian Chess Federation in Arabic language. Our commission was honoured to be invited and our chairman Laurent Freyd shared an introductory speech with the audience. The seminar was led by IA Mahdi Abdulrahim (chairman of ACF Arbiters Commission, Chairman of the FIDE Rules commission) and IA Hassan Khaled (EGY) the FIDE Rules commission councillor.

d) AFRICA CHESS NEWS GROUP – TELEGRAM ARB Q&A SESSION

The Africa Chess News Group hosted a Q&A session on Telegram, on August 1st, 2020. The host, IA Peter Duke Michieka Kingoina from Kenya invited our Chairman Laurent Freyd for 2 hours of questions and answers with people from all over Africa, interested in subjects related to the FIDE ARB Commission and arbiters in general. Topics such as plans, development, education, selection of arbiters in events like the Olympiad were covered. The exchanges were very rich, and we highly appreciate the opportunity to interact.

2) ADMINISTRATION AND KPI’S

a) OPERATIONAL PROCESSES

Administrative processes are handled in collaboration with the National Federations and the FIDE Office. Now that we have more than one year of operations by the new team and we implemented structured data, we created a few metrics which will be covered in that section of the report every time. In charge for the commission: Nebojsa BARALIC, Laurent FREYD.

i) LICENSING PROCESS

Slight increase in Q3, as some over-the-board tournaments start to be organized again.

3) PROJECTS

a) ONLINE CHESS

See §1.b

b) IMPROVING TITLE APPLICATIONS

The FIDE Arbiters’ Commission hosted an online workshop for federations on arbiters’ title applications on June 18th, 2020 on the FIDE Youtube Channel: https://youtu.be/BMA0ScLGPOo

During the webinar, co-hosted by the Chairman Laurent Freyd, the Secretary Nebojsa Baralic and the member in charge of title evaluations, Jirina Prokopova, the following subjects were covered: – how to fill in and validate an arbiter’s norm – how to select norms for a valid application – how to check data related to an application

Hundreds of participants from many federations worldwide took part live or viewed the webinar later and the aim of the commission is to make it easier for the federation officials to prepare applications and reduce rework on both their side and the FIDE side.

c) INTRODUCING FAIR PLAY REGULATIONS AND BEST PRACTICES

A cross commission initiative between the FPL and the ARB commissions was launched to communicate about cheating, regulations, case studies and best practices for arbiters and organizers. On June 26th, 2020, a 3,5-hour online workshop was hosted on the FIDE Zoom platform https://youtu.be/tf99gMlO8Hw The webinar was co-hosted by Salomeja Zaksaite, FPL Chairperson, Laurent Freyd, ARB Chairman, Yuri Garrett, FPL Secretary, Nebojsa Baralic, ARB Secretary, Konstantin Landa, FPL Councillor, Klaus Deventer, FPL Member and Michail Prevenios, FPL Member. This was again a great opportunity to encourage cross commission work, as well as interaction with arbiters worldwide.

4) REGULATIONS AND PUBLICATIONS

a) ARBITERS’ MANUAL

During the online meeting with the FIDE President in May, the commission committed to deliver a new release of the Arbiters’ Manual by the end of the summer in view of publishing it as an eBook. Following that meeting, a poll was open to understand from arbiters worldwide, what topics they wished to add to the manual and the team worked on preparing 2 new chapters, in addition to improvement of the existing comments, under the leadership of Councillor Shohreh Bayat. The new chapters are a sample of questions for the FIDE Arbiter’s exam and guidelines for duties of arbiters in online chess. Due to the ongoing activities about online chess mentioned in §1.b, the publication is postponed until final conclusions by the task force. However, the Commission is proud that the proposed evolutions were delivered on time according to the plan and involved actors from other commissions too.

b) REGULATIONS FOR ARBITERS

During the last quarter, the main progresses on the preparation of the future regulations for arbiters were achieved in the Education sector, as well as on the licensing lifecycle. It was decided during the last monthly meeting, following the view to increase the quality of arbiters, that the activity/inactivity of arbiters would be triggered by the attendance in a refresher course, in replacement of the current regulations based on the sole renewal of the license. The commission will prepare a new version of regulations for the training of arbiters according to the new lifecycle; licensing and classification of arbiters for the coming FIDE Congress 2020.

In a second wave (by 2021), the regulations for the selection of arbiters in world events will be fully designed. The current step of this project is an evaluation of what is done in other sports, to have references of working systems.

5) EDUCATION OF ARBITERS

a) EDUCATION TEAM

The key deliverable of the quarter is the organization of a Pilot Online Refresher Course. 4 sessions of 3 hours were organized in July, with a group of selected arbiters from all continents. The participants were requested to provide feedback on the topics and ways to present subjects, so that the commission could fine tune before publishing official regulations and guidelines.

This event was successful and the commission would like to thank the arbiters who accepted to be our “guineapigs”. The seminar was lectured by a team of FIDE lecturers who invested their time in a thorough preparation too: Alex McFarlane, ARB EDU lead, Shohreh Bayat, Laurent Freyd, Aris Margetis, Jirina Prokopova.

During this quarter, the Education Team also started a review of FA seminar exams, in collaboration with the lecturers. This is a new step forward in the harmonization of practices among lecturers worldwide. Short term, each lecturer keeps the lead on hi exam, however the commission reviews it prior to the seminar and may ask for amendments. Long term, the idea is that the exams would be centrally managed, but this will require some IT investments, to implement a Learning Management System (LMS).

The standard operations on the website were covered for the period between May 26th, 2020 and September 16th, 2020. We published 32 posts on https://arbiters.fide.com with news, seminar announcements and reports; and the weekly update of the list of licensed arbiters was done every Monday. The Website Administrator is Nebojsa Baralic.

No disciplinary case in progress nor decided at the end of the period.

9) APPLICATIONS TO BE VALIDATED BY THE COUNCIL

The evaluation of arbiters’ title applications or category upgrade is extremely time consuming for the commission and the FIDE title administrator. This is especially the case when applications are incomplete (missing information like names, dates, signatures; missing norms or IT3; missing names on the FIDE rating server) or incorrect (invalid tournaments or mix of tournaments). For the current session, 35% of the applications are not valid due to missing information. As for these applications (conditioned by receiving the missing elements), the federations were contacted and 25 applications could be corrected in a short time. The remaining 6 applications will be skipped for now and postponed to the next Council Meeting. That means that only Approved and Rejected applications will be listed as recommendations below.

a) RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IA AND FA TITLE APPLICATIONS

For the 3rd quarter FIDE Council 2020, the Arbiters’ Commission received 87 applications for Arbiters Titles. 25 IA and 62 FA title applications were submitted for consideration by the Commission. 73 applications are approved, 15 rejected and 6 postponed to the next session.

Appendix B contains the recommendations of the Arbiters’ Commission for the IA and FA title applications that have been submitted for approval by the 3rd quarter FIDE Council 2020.

b) RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ARBITERS’ CLASSIFICATION UPGRADES

For the 3rd quarter FIDE Council 2020, the Arbiters` Commission received 6 applications for Arbiters` classification upgrades: - 4 category B - 2 category C 5 applications are approved and 1rejected.

Appendix C contains the recommendations of the Arbiters’ Commission for the upgrades of the Arbiters’ classification that have been submitted for approval by the 3rd quarter FIDE Council 2020.

c) RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ADDITIONS TO THE FIDE LECTURERS LIST

For the 3rd Quarter FIDE Council 2020, the Arbiters` Commission received one request for approval and recommends the following: - IA BIAGIOLI MARCO (ITA, 841285), REJECTED – Only 2 valid norms: the FIDE Lecturer Norm from the Rhodes Seminar 2019 is not valid.
