On the Technical seminar, 30 new candidates participated to become national and category 2 international technical officials. This course was especially targeted for candidates under 35 years of age with a clear intention to comply with the norms for the 2018 Youth Olympic Games.

The Federation invited Ms Jessica Castillo Vazquez (PER) and Cristian Harthey Silva (CHI) category 1 International Technical Officials as lecturers. The presenters did a great job explaining the technical rules and told their personal experiences at the several big competitions they participated. The course finished with a practical exam at the Argentine National Tournament where the new technical officials had active roles.
