New divisions in Judges-licences
As of March 12, the level of judging is divided into four categories and levels.
Level 1 is Clublevel. Level 2 National. Level 3 Continental and Level 4 FISAC-IRSF.
Each Level consists of four Classes: A is for [Head Judge]. B is [Speed]. C is [Creativity] and D is for [Difficulty].
Because of this, all those who haven't received their certificate (for example: participants from the course in Oberwart (Austria)) will receive it according to the new structure.
