Harmonization with other disciplines where possible
Simplicity of the rules

WTC took into consideration the proposals from the delegates of the Technical Symposium. The
published Provisional Version of the WAG COP'13 is the outcome of this forum.
My deepest appreciation goes to the Technical Committees of the Continental Unions, the
federations, the coaches and the judges for their time, comments and proposals regarding the
future WAG COP.

IRCOS EVALUATION SYSTEM
The introduction of the IRCOS evaluation system was very significant. The system has been
improved over the years and successfully used at countless number of competitions.
Unfortunately some judges did not understand clearly that the Instant Replay and Control System
(IRCOS) was not introduced to replace the existing judging system by a video judging system.
In order to avoid abusive and excessive use and in order to guarantee the competition runs on
schedule, the use of IRCOS during this cycle was strictly restricted.
