Information from both the IJF and EJU regarding the new regulations on back patches required for all IJF and EJU events.

There will be 2 parts:

PART 1: FIXED FOR EVERY EVENT: Name and Country Code

•  Every Athlete has to order his/her personal back number with name and country through www.mybacknumber.com

•  Only with this original identification is the athlete allowed to compete in IJF and EJU events. Self prepared or copied identifications are not allowed. In this case the judoka will be disqualified.

•  The service for ordering starts on 1st November through: www.mybacknumber.com

•  The order process is open for Federations, sportsmen and clubs. It must not be done only through federation.

•  Think about some reserve numbers in case of damage.

•  From the 1st January 2010 every sportsman has to prepare his personal identification at home. The judoka has to arrive for every competition with prepared name and nation identification. If the judoka arrives unprepared, they will not be allowed to compete.

PART 2: VARIABLE FOR EVERY EVENT: Competition name/Advertising
