ACT Officials

The realm of sports thrives on the dedication, skills, and expertise of Officials. Triathlon, with its intricate combination of disciplines, is no exception. Our “Technical Officials” (TO’s) are vital in ensuring the smooth conduct of events, and they play a pivotal role in the sport.

Accreditation Levels

• LTO (Local Technical Official): An introductory level overseen by the STTA, focusing on the Race Competition Rules. LTO Modules 1-9 are accessible at the start of each season from the TA website.
• RTO (Regional Technical Official): The subsequent step towards becoming a State/Territory-based Race Referee or Technical Delegate. This level highlights the official’s ability to build professional relationships with Race Directors and showcases their trustworthiness and leadership within the STTA.
• ATO (Australian Technical Official): The pinnacle of national achievement. ATOs are adept at leading Technical Teams during major National events, coordinating with stakeholders, and influencing decisions. They play roles such as RR/TD/CRO at events like multisport national Championships, Continental Cup, and Multisport Series Events.
