Dear Sirs,
I am an old friend of Mr. Robert Thomson, I would be glad if you pass this note to him to contact me or kindly send me his email.
Thank you very much

Dear who may concern.
This is Director General secretariat of Korea Power Wheelchair Association (KPWA).
I am writing to ask a question about classification and request documents and materials for referee program.
First, a question about the rule.
According to the rule book Article 18-3,
Each team must field a maximum of two PF2 sport class players during a
match for all FIPFA designated competitions
There is no restriction in the combination of sport classes within the
playing squad of a team.
And
Infringements / Sanctions
If a team has more than two PF2 classified players on the field of play
during a match, at the next stoppage in play they must become compliant
and a penalty be awarded to the opposing team.
If unable to make the team compliant, then they must play on with one
player less.
In this article,
“A maximum of two PF2 players during a match” + “a team has more than two PF2 classified players on the field of play
during a match, at the next stoppage in play they must become compliant
and a penalty be awarded to the opposing team”
This part is a little confusing.
How many PF2 players can a team have during a game?
A team can have one PF2 player and three PF1 players, or two PF2 players and two PF1 players?
Even though a team can have two PF2 players, they have no choice but to violate the rule?
Second,
Since last year, we KPWA have tried to encourage all our members to play the games according to the PIPFA rule.
This year, we translated PIPFA rule book into Korean and distributed it to our member teams.
These days, we are translating PIPFA Classification rule book.
This week, we are holding a workshop for coaching and referee.
We are using PIPFA rule book but I think it is not sufficient for the training program to be the most efficient one to the trainee.
Could you send us all the materials related to the referee training program like teaching materials, testing materials, etc.
Actually first I made this request to the US PSA, but they said FIPFA has better program than theirs.
I wish I could have as many materials as possible.
Last,
We KPWA has no authority about the classification, and so we don’t apply the classification rule at all now.
How can we have the authority?, meaning how can we have training or something like that about classification?
Thank you for reading long messages like this.
I wish I could get a message from you A.S.A.P.
Sincerely.
Dear who may concern.
I’ve heard that Under 21 age Competition, Australia will be held in October along with APO tournaments.
We, Korea Powerwheelchair Football Association has paid 2019 FIPFA Membership fees, so I think we could join any kinds of tournaments and competitions as many times as possible.
Of course we haven’t done any international activities so far, but we KPFA want to have good relationship with FIPFA.
Recently, many young guys (under 20 age) have joined powerwheelchair football clubs and played games very passionately.
They want to join the Australia enthusiastically.
If there is any information about the competition like formal documents, participation application forms, brouchures, and the like.
I wish I would get them A.S.A.P.
Sincerely
