ELECTION OF ATHLETES

IPSF National Federations are required to select athletes from within their country who meet the criteria in 3 to be put forward for the IPSF Athletes’ Commission. Each candidate will participate in an election. All athletes registered as members of a National Federation are eligible to vote.
