Panels of Adjudicators Made Public 23/11/2016

Harri Syväsalmi Meets DanceSport Again © Roland The Presidential Task Force to Combat Competition Manipulation (CCM TF) in DanceSport met in Vienna, AUT, on Sunday 20 November. In their second meeting since the task force was created earlier this year, the three members - President Lukas Hinder, ethics in sports expert Harri Syväsalmi and WDSF Code of Ethics author Daniel Stehlin - started the process of conducting hearings with some of the different stakeholders in DanceSport. While these hearings - actually, they are informal and un-minuted discussions - are kept confidential by the parties, the TF reports on the outcome of all of its other deliberations.

In this case, WDSF takes pride in announcing that another anti-manipulation measure that is based on the recommendations of the task force gets implemented after both the Sports Commission and the Managing Committee have approved it.

Deviating from the procedure in the past - and for a trial period of a still undetermined duration - WDSF will publish the names of all the Adjudicators making up the panels at title and GrandSlam events. The following Adjudicators will officiate at the 2016 WDSF GrandSlam Finals in Shanghai on 1o and 11 December.
