The tournament officiating committee will consist and be compose with the following officials. REFEREES, JUDGES and ARBITRATORS who's duties are the following:

(1).  REFEREE:  stands as the figure head in each match in making a decision. The REFEREE'S decision is final. In any fight match, only a REFEREE can award a point, declare a winner or disqualify a contestant, the JUDGE who is assisting the Referee can only suggest a point but could not award a point, declare a winner and disqualify a contestant. Neither of the Judges or the Arbitrator could award a point, declare a winner and disqualify a contestant from a match except the Referee and no one else. None of the officiating committee members have the authority to award appoint, declare a winner, eject a contestant or even stops an ongoing match.

(2).  Judge:  is to assist the Referee in every fighting match to make sure that every clean hits or contact that any contestant makes which is on the blind spot of the Referee, the Judge is always there to be able to see and spot that successful blow. The Judge should always and at all times be in front and facing the Referee. Every time the Referee moves the Judge should also have to move, positioning himself always and at all times facing the REFEREE. If the JUDGE see a contestant score perfectly or violated the tournament rules and the Referee has not notice it, the judge can motion to the Referee by extending his hands pointed towards the scoring contestant or violating contestant in order for the Referee to stop the match. The Judge could not stop an ongoing match, could not eject a contestant, could not declare any contestant a winner or a looser, but could suggest to the Referee all of this things which he can't do, so as for the Referee to make his sound judgment and fair decision in favor of the deserving contestant.

(3).   ARBITRATOR: is designated in every competition matches in order to settle dispute arising from a protest on a controversial decision that a Referee or a Judge have handed against the party filing the protest. The Aarbitrator is also there to oversee and keep an eye on both the Referee and the Judge making sure that both the Referee and the Judge are both impartial, unbiased and fair in making their sound judgment and decisions. At the very first moment the Arbitrator notices a misconduct and partiality in awarding points to the contestant, the Arbitrator has the authority to call the attention of the Referee or Judge and order the Referee or Judge to immediately stop the ongoing match. As the match is stop by the Referee, the Arbitrator have to motion with his hands calling both Referee and the Judge to come towards him to confer about the misconduct and partiality that he have notice during the conduction of the ongoing match. The Arbitrator will have to warn and advice the official involve to be fair and unbiased in awarding a point. The Arbitrator would also remind both the Referee and the Judge of the consequence of being ejected and disqualified to officiate and be ban for life to officiate at any future tournament competitions. The Arbitrator can only make a decision and declare a contestant a winner or a looser when there is conflict between the Referee and the Judge in making the decision as who among the two contestant should be awarded the point. The Arbitrator would have the full authority to make its sound and fairest decision which should be acceptable to both parties to solve that controversial decision. In the event that the Arbitrator notice a repeated misconduct and violations of tournament fairness through wide spread bias and unfairness in awarding or suggesting a point, the Arbitrator would have to go to the person who is the time keeper and order the time keeper to stop the time and sound the buzzer so the Referee may stop the match. After the match is stop. the Arbitrator would have to call both the Referee and the Judge to report to him, then the Arbitrator would have to go to the tournament committee table where the tournament Director and his staffs are seated and file a written request to disqualify whoever is involve in the misconduct. If any of the officiating officials are disqualified for misconduct, the Arbitrator brings the order of disqualification to the match maker to call for the disqualification and to call for a new Referee or Judge in replacement of the disqualified Referee or Judge. Any official who will commit brazen acts of misconduct will have to suffer the consequence of disqualification from the games and will be ban and barred for life to officiate in any of the tournament competitions that the WFSFU conducts.
