This weekend, two successful events were held, one in Panama and the other in the United Arab Emirates.

In Panama, Alberto Guerra, Jimmy Salas, accompanied by one of the best Referees today, Héctor Afú, addressed some important issues that Referees  must always keep in mind, when being appointed for a match. Fights were evaluated and also the correct filling of the score cards, was carefully explained.
