Canada Cup and WRE Sanctioning

Request for Sanction of a Canada Cup (previously known as an A meet), Multi-day or Internal Event (including World Ranking Events)

Events and competitions meeting all requirements and not requesting any deviations will receive automatic preliminary sanctioning. If a deviation is requested, it will be forwarded to the Technical Committee for review.

  • Major officials must be certified at appropriate levels of the Officials Certification Program.
  • Officials may receive practicum credit for only one major officiating role at any single or two day event.
  • Single Day event: Major officials' positions must be filled by different officials.
  • Multiday events: A given major official may hold the same position for more than one race. However, a given official cannot hold more than one position for the same race.

Please complete and submit online application well in advance of the event(s). The suggested timeline is 6 months before the event. Sanctioning requests received within 60 days of the event MAY NOT be granted. There are several reasons for this timeline: (1) to allow elite athletes sufficient time to arrange their competition schedule and training in order to attend your Canada Cup event, (2) to attract foreign competitors who must plan travel on a longer time frame, and (3) to allow the Orienteering Canada Technical Committee sufficient time to consider the application and request follow-up information, if required.
