event accreditation group
The "Event Accreditation Group" is comprised of Somersault Race Directors and other event specialists who help make Somersault events safe and fair. The Event Accreditation Group is responsible for ensuring that Somersault events adhere to the "Event Accreditation Standards" it sets.

The purpose of "Event Accreditation Standards" is to hold each Somersault event accountable to participant based, event delivery criteria which ensure that each event participant is treated equitably at, can prepare properly for, and is able to participate fairly in, a safe competition.
