Ladies and Gentlemen, dear Delegates,

I am happy to welcome you to this General Assembly of the FISTC in Louvain, Belgium.

I would like to thank our Belgian friends for their kind invitation and particularly the President of the Belgian Federation FBMF Siegfried Bomon.

This season has been another good one for the FISTC as we were able to organise both championships. But the Championships are not the only activity of the Board during the year. We will have to discuss several other issues later... Read all report

Adopted proposals:

1.     Advice for member countries to check the size of racing dogs and to stay in conformity with the standard.

2.     Any participation to WSA championships is strictly forbidden to any FISTC team. For the teams that would not respect this rule, the sanction would then be two years of disqualification from the FISTC championships.

3.     Change of the distances for all catogories in sprint within two years:

* D and C class 10-12km

* B, SJ and pulka 15-18km

* O 20-25km

4.     Euro cup- For next two years.: When we have all the dates of the races of all members, the FISTC board will point out the races that will be taken in to the FISTC cup, this can be two races in one weekend if they are at sufficient distance from each other. The total of weekend in which FISTC eurocupraces are held should be 6 and the best 4 results will count. A minimum of 3 participations is required to be in the final Eurocup list. There will be no extra costs for the organization, the races should be kept under strict FISTC rules, and the results should be send to the FISTC secretary within 2 weeks of the race.

5.     Free participation of competitors of the WM/EM younger that 18 years.

It is already common but the young mushers must inform organisors about theyrs age.

6.     To split up the category skijoring men and skijoring women if we have at least 5 competitors in each category.

7.     Pulka Ladies and Men: Put them in 1 category without separate price giving when less than 5 competitors in one of the two classes.

8.     Dogpasses (.doc).New passports with colors for each country and also new numbers.
