National federation path
Setting up a National Federation
ISF supports national representatives who can organize sanctioned competitions, maintain athlete records, train officials and publish results under the current international rules.
Core requirements
A responsible representative team, competition plan, referee pool, rules adoption and a transparent athlete/result registry.
First operating step
Start with a national calendar proposal, local organizer list and referee certification plan.
Data integration
Prepare competition protocols for publication and consolidation through the ISF results workflow.

Practical next steps inside ISF
This section turns the reference note into a usable workflow, so visitors can understand what to check, what evidence matters and where to continue without leaving the ISF website.
All continuation paths in this block stay inside the ISF website.
Check the current rule context
- Confirm which ISF discipline, age group, bodyweight category and event status apply.
- Use the rules and standards pages when a decision depends on technical validity or rank thresholds.
- Keep the event regulation as the controlling document for dates, entry rules and local conditions.
Prepare the required evidence
- For athletes: protocol result, category, discipline, event date and official status.
- For organizers: venue, equipment, officials, schedule, regulations and protocol publication plan.
- For national offices: responsible contact, territory, calendar and reporting workflow.
Continue through internal routes
- Use the calendar for active competitions and entry timing.
- Use applications for membership, records, sport ranks, referee certificates and partnerships.
- Use contacts when a case requires federation review instead of self-service information.
