WDSF BREAKING JUDGE (THREEFOLD SYSTEM)

The ThreeFold Judging System (three judging criteria) is to be used for WDSF competitions excluding WDSF Championships and Games and recommended for use at national level competitions. In comparison, the Trivium Judging System (six judging criteria) is to be used for all WDSF Championships and Games.

For future WDSF Breaking events, only licensed Breaking Judges will be nominated by WDSF.

Only WDSF Breaking judges with ThreeFold Judging System qualification will be eligible to attend congresses to obtain the Trivium Judging System license, which is required to judge the Games.
