{color:#ff0000}2.5.2  While it is the responsibility of claimants to make Championship record claims,{color} {color:#ff0000} t{color}{color:#ff0000}he jury is the 'official witness' and must make sure the claim is accurate in its detail and properly corrected to ISO conditions before signing it.  T{color}{color:#ff0000}he jury should try to be aware of impending claims especially if it is necessary to measure a course before it is dismantled. {color}

{color:#ff0000}2.5.3 In championships where small team medals are available for purchase by eligible teams after the event, the Jury must pre-fill and deliver the medals application form to each team leader at or before the medals ceremony.{color}

{color:#ff0000}2.5.4 It is impossible to accurately calculate the final sanction fee to be paid to CIMA by the organizer from standard published information such as entry lists and score sheets.  The CIMA Jury President Report Form is provided to capture this information.  It should be completed as soon as possible after the start of the event and must be returned to the CIMA President and FAI Secretariat as soon as possible after the event.  (This form is a replacement for Appendix D of the International Jury Members Hand Book).{color}

h3. Reason

Chapter 5 of S10 is advice, not rules.

The standard duties of International Juries have been added to over the years, this text just serves as a consolidated reminder to Juries what they are.

ref. 2.5.3, [the opinion of CASI (item 14)|cimaBureau:CASI meeting 2014] is that this is possible in future years.
