1.       INTRODUCTION AND DEFINITIONS

1.1 Purpose
The purpose of accreditation is to identify people and their roles and to allow them the necessary
access to perform their functions. These Rules are valid for all FIG Gymnastics for All (GfA) events,
FIG World Championships (Senior and Junior), FIG World Age Group Competitions, FIG World Cup
and FIG World Challenge Cup Series events, FIG international approved competitions and in
principle for all other multi-sport Games. They also apply to the FIG Council and Congress.
Accreditation is not an external sign of a privileged status but a necessary working tool to manage
the large numbers of people participating in official FIG events and to facilitate their movements in a
flexible way and with full security.
By accepting the accreditation, the holder confirms having read and understood the FIG Statutes,
the FIG and IOC Code of Ethics, the FIG Code of Conduct, the FIG Technical Regulations, the FIG
License Rules, the FIG Anti-Doping Rules, the World Anti-Doping Code including the International
Standards, the Code of Points, the FIG Accreditation Rules, and all other FIG Rules and Regulations
and their amendments, and agrees to comply with and to be bound by them.
An accreditation:
     –    ensures that only the appropriate qualified and eligible people are entitled to participate in or
          perform official functions at official FIG events
     –    limits participants’ access to areas they need to go to perform their official function and keeps
          unauthorized people out of secure zones
     –    ensures that participants reach these areas in a safe and orderly manner
Whatever the case, accreditations shall not be given in lieu of a “pass” or “event ticket”.

someone with an accreditation to substitute his/her function with the function of gymnast.

1.9 Training hall / Warm-up hall (not applicable for GfA)
Are considered as training halls, the halls used by the gymnasts for free training and scheduled
training as per the schedule prior to the competitions and during the competition days.
If the tribunes of the training halls are separated from the training zones and if the hall has also a
separated entry, the seats are considered as delegation seating as in the competition hall and access
rights are identical (zone 6).
Is considered as warm-up hall, the hall used by the gymnasts before their competition, on
competition days (free or scheduled warm-up). Access is strictly limited.
Podium training shall be considered as a training, therefore the access rights are the same as for
training halls.

1.10 Lost or stolen accreditation cards
In case of lost or stolen accreditation cards, the LOC and the FIG must be informed immediately in
order to block them.
Lost or stolen cards may be replaced at the expense of the card holder (at the equivalence of
CHF 200).
Lost or stolen transferable access cards shall not be replaced.

misuse of an accreditation (such as zone, time, transfer, etc.). Any misuse of accreditation shall lead
to the immediate withdrawal of the accreditation and to a fine of CHF 2’500.- per case to the
respective federation. Further steps are possible (e. g. case to be submitted to the Disciplinary
Commission).
The decisions of the FIG Secretary General concerning administrative measures (withdrawal, fines
and others) shall be notified in writing to the individual and the NF concerned. They have the right to
appeal to the Jury of Appeal as indicated in the decision of the FIG Secretary General.
The appeal shall not suspend the effect of the decision of the FIG Secretary General.
The FIG Jury of Appeal shall investigate the case as soon as possible. The decision of the FIG Jury
of Appeal is final.

4.       PROCEDURES AND COMMITMENTS OF THE LOCAL ORGANISING
         COMMITTEE (LOC)
The LOC shall strictly respect the provisions and requirements mentioned in these FIG Rules for
Accreditation.
The LOC shall provide a computerised electronic accreditation system which is able to inform at any
time about the:
     –    National Federation
     –    Name
     –    Function
     –    Category
     –    Access zone
of each accredited person, sortable by his/her name, function, accreditation number, National
federation and category.
The LOC may issue accreditations for its own members only. To be accredited, any persons
(including LOC members who are not citizens of the organising federation) shall require the
FIG written approval (not applicable to GfA).
The data of all other persons to be accredited (delegations, FIG, etc.) will be communicated by the
FIG in due time.
For the competitive disciplines, a PDF copy of the passport of all accredited gymnasts has to be
made in advance of arrival according to the LOC deadline.
For events where registration is not made electronically through FIG, the LOC shall check the licence
validity and the age of the gymnasts as described in the Technical Regulations (not applicable to
GfA).
The LOC shall also check that gymnasts have the passport (nationality) of the delegation in which
they have been registered (not applicable to GfA).
The model of the accreditation as well as the zone access plan shall be sent to the FIG for written
approval.
Media representatives shall all be accredited via the FIG Press Officer.
In case of infringement of these Rules by the LOC, the FIG may withdraw the accreditations
concerned and pronounce further financial sanctions (appropriate deduction from the deposit paid
by the organising member federation to the FIG).
Members from a suspended Federation are not entitled to any accreditation. This rule shall not apply
to the Council and to the Congress. This does not apply to FIG Authority members either.

5.       MAXIMUM SIZE OF DELEGATIONS
