Ethics of Affiliation

1.1 Adjudicators should always uphold their oath to the Australian Society of Calisthenic Adjudicators.

1.2 Adjudicators must advance the standard of Calisthenics through positive remarks and the imparting of knowledge.

1.3 It is required for adjudicators to maintain a high standard by being courteous, offering unbiased opinions and continuing to professionally develop our calisthenic knowledge.

1.4 Adjudicators have a duty of care to identify and respond to any movements considered detrimental to the well-being of each competitor. Appropriate comments (including a warning) should be noted on the Critique Paper.

1.5 Adjudicate at all times fairly and without prejudice, abiding by the ACF Rules and/or any other applicable rules.

1.6 Do not criticise or comment about the decisions or abilities of other adjudicators.

1.7 It is required for adjudicators to assist cadets by being prepared to guide them in all aspects of their training during adjudicating sessions. Adjudicators should not write for Cadets or other Adjudicators in any Calisthenic competition.

1.8 Adjudicators should not accept appointments of the same grading or section at more than one competition where possible within six months, except where the individual sub branch does not have enough adjudicators to fill appointments.

1.9 Adjudicators should adjudicate ALL sections and disciplines as required by the Adjudicators’ Accreditation Program (grades/teams/solos) and not make complaints to Competition Committees regarding their appointments.

1.10 Remember, even when you are not adjudicating you are under the scrutiny of the Calisthenic public. Your actions reflect on the Society and fellow members.
