CORSIER-SUR-VEVEY (December 27) - The United World Wrestling bureau met earlier this month at the 2016 World Championships in Budapest, passing several major improvements, including changes to the refereeing process and the appointment of new commission members.
To increase the efficacy of the referee assignment procedure, the bureau approved a new IT system developed to randomly assign referees to matches during competition. The system, as approved by the bureau, takes into accounts several factors before assignment including current nationality, nation of origin, and rating among many more.
