• country, where the judge lives

• hair categories, for which the judge is licensed: AB, LH, SLH, SH and SOSH

This data must be provided for each judge, regardless wether the judge is a WCF-judge, a WCF-licensed guest-judge or a judge from another organization.

If this data is not provided completely in the license application and the organizing club does not provide the complete data within a given time frame, the judge in question cannot be licensed in the license and consequently is also not allowed to judge on this show.

• against whom a disciplinary action is pending
• who are suspended or expelled by their own organization

The judges are checked by the Show Commission in co-operation with the Executive Board, latest when the copy of the license has been received.
In case of a negative result of the check the judge will be removed from the license, this will be communicated to the organizing club, and the license
will be reissued again.

For example:
judge-A, country (LH,SLH,WCF): 1st day

Consequently, there can be awarded only 1 certificate for LH on the 1st day.
Consequently, there can be awarded only 1 certificate for SH on the 2nd day.
Consequently, there can be awarded 2 certificates for SLH, 1 certificate on the 1st day and 1 certificate on the 2nd day .

4. C-Nummer must be provided on the license application

C-number at the licensing persons within the given time frame, using the form "Application for license" (see menu "Infothek-Forms").

In general you know already at the beginning of a year, how many shows you will organize. Thus you may pay the fees for your shows planned
already together with your membership fee and you will save transfer fees on your bank account.

5. License fee

Commencing with January 1, 2009 for each 1-day show of two consecutive 1-day shows the full licnese fee has to be paid.
That means, you will receive 2 C-numbers, but only one license-number. Both C-numbers will be indicated on the show license.

This regulation is also valid for 3 1-day shows, then you will receive 3 C-numbers and 1 license-number.

6. Archiving of the documents concerning the license

All documents concerning the show license will be archived until 1 year after the show date, if the national law does not require a different period.
That means that all applications for licenses (also all changes), all documents (also the emails) and all licneses (also all changes) will be kept from the
1st date of the 1st application for a license until 1 year after the show date of the show concerned either electronically or as printed documents.

7. Penalty fee

The penalty fee for non-compliance with the rules is 200.- Euros.

This will be indicated immediately also on the show license.

8. Counter-signing of judge's reports

If a cat is judged twice by the same judge in 2 different shows, a counter-signing by another judge officiating on the show is possible, when the judge is licensed for the hair category in question.
Both judge's reports will be considered as if they were given by two different judges.

When not otherwise stated, these regulations are immediately in effect.
