A. FINA SYNCHRONISED SWIMMING JUDGES LIST
1. All FINA Member Federations may submit the names of a maximum of 5 judges to be considered for inclusion on the FINA G list. Any nominee must have attended a FINA Judges’ School, and passed the Test. All nominations must be submitted to the FINA Office in Lausanne, Switzerland by October 31st in any given year.
2. Each Federation must complete an activity report for each of its FINA List judges when requested to do so by the FINA Office. Regular activity reports ensure that each judge’s record is current and complete.
3. FINA List Policies:
a. Each Judge shall be classified as “A”, “B” or “G”
b. Each Federation may nominate a maximum of 5 Judges to the G List.
c. The FINA Technical Synchronised Swimming Committee is the only body which may classify a judge to the “A” or “B” lists (subject to the approval of the FINA Bureau.)
Each Federation may have a maximum of 5 judges on the “A” and “B” lists. When a judge is reclassified from the “G” list to the “B” list, the respective Federation may nominate another judge to the “G” list
d. Members of the TSSC are in addition to the maximum quota allowed per Federation, and are identified on the FINA List as “F”. When such individuals are no longer members of the TSSC, two things shall be considered when determining his/her subsequent status as a FINA official:
- FINA List rating when he/she became a member of the TSSC
- Judging activity during his/her term on the TSSC
If his/her Federation’s quota is at the maximum level, the former TSSC member shall be in addition to the quota until a vacancy becomes available. If a former member was not on the FINA Judges list when initially named to the TSSC, status shall be determined on the basis of judging activity during his/her term on the TSSC
4. The FINA Synchronised Swimming Judges List will be published annually by FINA.
