About the Portal

The federation portal allows instant access for member Clubs, to the latest approved Judge and Lecturer Lists.

All federation competitions can be easily entered by using the portal's competition entry system.

Approved Judges can log in and update their status and contact details.

Listed Lecturers can log in and update or add lectures and change their status and contact details.

The system uses cookies to remember your login details so you don't have too.

The whole site is a single page so navigation is fast and easy.
