	8. Regulations governing Commissioners of FIBA *8.1. Nomination* A commissioner is appointed by the Secretary General of FIBA, of his own choice, to ensure the smooth running of international competitions of FIBA. He acts on behalf of the Secretary General of FIBA. A commissioner can also be appointed on the proposal of his national federation or Zone Commission or its equivalent. The commissioners shall be selected from amongst the honorary international referees and persons active in the organisation of basketball in the world. They must have sufficient knowledge of the Official Basketball Rules, General Bye-Laws and Internal Regulations of FIBA to be able to accomplish their mission. Clinics for commissioners can be organised by the Zone Commission or its equivalent. The programme for clinics and the names of the experts conducting them must be submitted to FIBA for approval. Licences for commissioners are issued by the Secretary General of FIBA. For the issue of the licence one passport photo must be sent to the Secretariat of FIBA. Should a commissioner not carry out his task in a satisfactory manner in the spirit of the General Bye-Laws and Internal Regulations of FIBA, his licence can be revoked by decision of the Secretary General of FIBA. All national federations may have an unlimited number of commissioners. *8.2. Appointment* Each time it is necessary or each time it is provided for by the regulations of a competition, the Secretary General of FIBA or his representative shall appoint one or several commissioners. One of them may be designated as official representative of FIBA for a tournament or championship. The appointment of the commissioner is always nominative and he is informed of this appointment directly and through the national federation of his country. In certain cases, the Secretary General of FIBA may delegate the appointment of the commissioner to the appropriate national federation. 8.3. Duties The commissioner shall attend the competition for which he has accepted the appointment. He must see to it that the competition is conducted in compliance with the spirit and the letter of the Official Basketball Rules and the Internal Regulations of FIBA. To this end, he should ensure the full co-operation of the two officials, the organisers and the persons responsible for the teams taking part in the competition. If information is requested by the referees during or at the end of the game, he must furnish this information. However, the final decision rests with the referees. The commissioner shall be primarily responsible for the smooth running of the scorer's table. During the game the commissioner will be seated at the table between the timekeeper and the scorer. Having completed his duties, he shall make a report on the competition and send it immediately together with the scoresheet(s) and classification of teams to the Secretary General of FIBA by special delivery and, if necessary, by airmail. The commissioner shall send to the Secretary General without delay any claim or protest received from one of the parties involved, adding any information that he may deem relevant. *8.4. Rights* The commissioner acts on behalf of the Secretary General of FIBA, whom he represents. The commissioner has full authority to resolve any problems that may arise between the organisers, teams and referees. In particular, he has the right to require that the organisers arrange adequate police presence to ensure the smooth and sportsmanlike running of the game. 8.5. Financial Provisions The annual fee for a commissioner of DM 120 or DM 100 or DM 20 is payable through his national federation. For the actual fee refer to the Regulations governing Fees and Dues (see Chapter 10). The provisions contained in the Regulations governing International Referees (articles 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5) are also applicable to commissioners. *8.6. Other Provisions* The commissioners of FIBA receive a FIBA licence which is valid for unlimited time if the national federation is paying the commissioner's annual fee. This licence grants the right of free access to all basketball courts where international competitions are taking place, with the exception of the Olympic Tournaments. However, the ticket request - one ticket per commissioner - must reach the organisers at least three months before the competition.
