We find a crucial figure supporting her since her appointment, although she is not a direct part of the organizing committee , and she plays an essential and somewhat complex role.
We are talking about the Technical Delegate , also identified by the simple abbreviation DT, always present and well framed in every Federal Technical Regulation (RTF), often identified as an expert
The duration of the work of the coach, the organizer of the competitions
He works a lot, even during the competition, not only with preparatory virtues, which are assigned functions that cannot be performed by other members.
As a valuable collaborator on the Organizing Committee, TD oversees the correct functioning of all preparatory mechanisms , and must be able to give advice and suggestions, and check that all regulations are strictly respected.
The technical delegate has, in essence, the responsibility to ensure, given his profile, that the various technical provisions comply with the rules of the different federations, which constitute the interface between the competent bodies
Depending on the sector and the organizer, who remains responsible in any case for everything that may happen to the registrants of the race or to third parties.
The professional personality and the role of the technical representative
The technical delegate, as we have seen, has several faculties , and he also has to cooperate with the chairman of the jury for the success of the competition.
Nothing should be left to chance, which is why the role should be filled by someone who has
A complete professional profile, considering that it is the highest technical authority, as well as the guarantor of compliance with the rules .
It shall ensure, with reasonable progress, the suitability of the equipment used , the quality of competition and scope of work, and the suitability of safety measures intended for the public, such as partitioning barriers
Instead of marks, checks of start and access orders, prepared in cooperation with the chairman of the jury, including prizes, in accordance with the technical characteristics of the selected type of competition.
Moreover, the TD has a specific duty to discuss with the regulator , without taking anything for granted, regarding technical but also purely practical aspects.
Be careful not to violate the rules and regulations
which it finds conflicting, and where it constitutes a violation of regulations, or a particular non-compliance, even if only a formality , there is an obligation to follow the provisions of the same TD, even if some characteristics may have margins of appreciation.
Instead, the organizing committee will be free to follow its views on purely logistical issues , and in the event of irreconcilable differences, on the recommendation of the technical delegate himself, the Federal Council will step in and decide.
Among the aspects that are an integral part of the regulations within the margins that must be respected, we can mention the road difficulties of various classes, as well as
Competent supervision and judgment in relation to the new plant , in order to express a technical opinion on its suitability, which may also conflict with the opinion of the analog.
The technical delegate is also concerned with the general aspect of the race, even in those that are not purely sporting details but should in any way be appropriate to rank a manifestation of Federal interest , such as attention to detail with floral ornaments and decorations in general, preparation for an award ceremony, etc.
Above all, however, he oversees the technical regularity of the running of the race , ensuring that the current rules are fully applied , without performing the functions of a coach or judge, except in the most exceptional cases authorized by the Federation itself.
So he inspects structures and equipment , acquires and learns in detail every aspect of event regulations, and performs checks on the track , platforms and services in general.
As well as any necessary rooms, such as secretarial, changing rooms and medical center, as well as evaluating the tender schedule , with the right to suggest possible changes.
Finally, he chairs the evaluation so that the resources allocated as judges , assistants and volunteers are sufficient, and possibly encourages the latter's participation.
