Standard lodging and all meals are included in the clinic price for the participating referees.

All travel cost will be covered by the referees themselves, but we will arrange pickup and transportation to Farum if you arrive in Copenhagen Airport. 

Each applicant must fill out the registration form to be considered for participation. REGISTRATION IS STILL OPEN. This also applies for any referees appointed by their National Federation for the clinic.

Since we only have room for a certain number of referees this year, we need to have a selection process, to determine who can participate in the clinic, we hope for your understanding of this. We are prioritizing referees that has been participating in the tournament before.

You will receive an approval email from the system as soon as your application has been reviewed and accepted. In this email, you will also have details for paying the participant fee.

Once we have registered your payment, we will finally confirm your participation. We need to have received your payment no later than by the May 10th. If not your registration for the clinic will be cancelled.

 If we get overbooked,, we will create a standby list for referees in that case, you will be notified as soon as you register.

Each National Federation can send up to 3 referees. If you are sent by your national federation, contact your national instructor about payment.
