Revised September 2013.

A 'quick reference' summary of the tie-breaking process for the WBTF events is attached. It is meant as a summary tool, not as a replacement for a proper understanding of the CBTF technical rulebook.

The Head Judge shall act as liaison between the judges’ panel and the Competition Director and personnel and shall act as the representative of the judges’ panel.  The Head Judge shall communicate any messages or instructions from the Competition Director or competition personnel before, during and after the competition.

A number of coaches have spoken with me and worried about the judging of our events.

Their concern is: Many athletes’ have been on the cusp of moving up to 2.5, 4.0, and 6.0. for a number of times but have been held back for a long time.

February 1, 2016 - The attached tracking sheet, contributed by Tracy Eyssens, is being provided for all Technical Members to use to record their Continuing Professional Development activities during this interim period until these can be tracked directly in the CBTF Membership Database.

Material from the February 2018 webinar that provided an update on the Coaching Program Realignment Project is now available for viewing online. The recorded webinar and the slides (including slides added from the Q&A portion of the webinar) are both listed below.

NOTE: September 13 changes have been approved and are included in the attached written description. The changes bring the written description into alignment with the demonstration video.

September 20, 2019: one additional correction has been included.

Please review the attached list of resources as you plan for the upcoming year, and circulate it to your clubs and provincial associations.

November 15, 2020 - At the 2020 Fall Conference, Freestyle and Pair Requirements and Content Restrictions were approved and are effective January 1, 2021. These Suggested Requirements and Content Restrictions have been packaged into the attached document, for easy reference.

Material from the November 2020 webinar that introduced the new CBTF role  model video and scripts, for Medley, Solo DanceTwirl, Duet, DanceTwirl Team, and PomPom Team events.

The CBTF Technical Committee has approved an update to the CBTF Long-Term Athlete Development model. This model is based on the Canadian Sport Centre’s Long Term Development Model. In each phase, the Model relates the athlete's development stage to their participation in the sport.

The WBTF Role Model video is available for viewing online. Each event has been listed in a separate video.

These videos are presented in this method as a service to our Technical membership, but these online videos should not be considered a complete substitute for WBTF resources, including any performance example scripts and WBTF event capsule summaries.

At the beginning of each season, CBTF hosts a 'What's New Webinar'. The library of these webinar videos is listed below. All webinars are also available on the CBTF Education Portal.
