• All Event Officials can ONLY be Event Officials at an IKF Sanctioned Event!
  • Officials CAN NOT work a corner for a fighter during a show they are an official on.
  • Officials CAN NOT work with fighters on the event they are officials on. This includes helping with hand wrapping, warming fighters up, etc. etc.
  • Officials of course CAN NOT be an official on a bout where they know or train one or both of the fighters. If you are an official and see a fighter that you know well on a bout you may be assigned to work, it is your duty and responsibility to EXCUSE yourself from the bout so that the event Representative can assign a replacement for you.
• This IS NOT an issue about our TRUST in you as an IKF Official. Of course we have great trust in your integrity or none of you would be an official with the IKF. This is about the PERCEPTION of what others who are watching may think they are seeing. NONE of us can afford to be or want to be a victim of misunderstood PERCEPTION.
