Further judging resources:
- Templates, forms and resources for judging at IRF events
- Judges Committee
- IRF Race Rules
- Results from all past IRF raft race events
- Upcoming raft race events
Additional to IRF race rules, at World and Contintental level (Category A & B) events, judges swear to the Olympic Official’s Oath. This is normally done by the Head Judge.
