Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on the ability to host a competition under standard rules and taking into account that some countries may host national qualifiers in the current cycle, TMC Headquarter resolves:
- Make temporary changes to the Rules & Regulation section 4, clause 1.3 canceling the obligation of the organizer to involve at least one international judge in the panel of judges of national qualifying competitions
- Extend the validity of all types of judges’ certificates (national and international)
- Allow the National body to independently modify the rules of the competition in the «Tea Tasting» category, while maintaining the purpose of the competition and for compliance with sanitary and other restrictive rules
- All change will be valid until the end of the next world championship
