The IWWF Event Management System has been under development for some time and the roll out to Federations has been taking place this year.
Additionally, the introduction of a worldwide IWWF Licence for all Rankings List competitors was proposed at the World Congress in Malaysia last year. The administration of this licence will be integrated into the EMS. We understand that the launch of the new licence will be for the 2021 season for the northern hemisphere. More information will be shared about this as the implementation plans are finalised.
This is major and positive change to the way our sport is administrated and will have a big impact on Competition Organisers, Officials and Athletes and the way in which we work together in the future.
So, as a reminde EMS will provide?
 Present data to The General Public and Media

 EMS Version 1 which is being implemented now includes registrations of officials, athletes, sites and competitions, registration of athletes to competitions, management of competitions (download of participants to Scoring System, publication of Live scores, upload of results from Scoring System and publication, publication of Ranking Lists, competition news, etc.).

If you have had a competition licence in the last three years and are a current member of BWSW you will receive an email in the next week or so explaining firstly about EMS then a second email that will invite you to sign in to EMS and update your profile. As all events will be run via EMS next year it is important that you do this. All Officials will also receive this invitation.
