IKF President Steve Fossum is also available to attend events as the Official IKF Representative. However, due to Mr. Fossum's IKF Travel Schedule, he is obviously not able to attend all IKF events.

TRAVEL FEES

The Promoter is Also Responsible for All Travel Expenses and Accommodations for the Official IKF Event Representative or Associate which includes;

• Travel To and From Event: This can be by plane if the event is more than 200 miles from the Representative or Associates home or by Car if Representative or Associate lives less than 200 miles from event, unless OTHER Arrangements have been made with the Promoter and the Representative or Associate. If by Plane, the Promoter must have all plane ticket fees paid by themselves a minimum of 7 days prior to the event. If by Automobile, the Promoter shall pay the Representative or Associate .35 cents per mile traveled to the event X 2 for the return trip as well. Example: Representative or Associate travels 300 miles by car to an event, the return trip would obviously be 300 miles so 300 X 2 = 600 x .35 = $210.00. (Additional mileage may be added if the venue is a long distance from the hotel) This "CAR" travel fee is to be paid by the Promoter to the Representative or Associate upon arrival at the Promoters town/city.
• Daily Per Diem: (Meals) Promoter shall pay to the Representative or associate a *$25 a day per diem for each day or fraction of a day that he/she is on the road traveling to and from your event.

This fee shall be paid to your Representative or Associate upon arrival at your location.
  • (*) This fee is based on the exchange rate of the American Dollar and should be determined between the Promoter and the IKF Event Representative of the event PRIOR to the event. This fee could be even less if the promoter pays for each meal of the day for the IKF Event Representative.
    • *The fee will be lower where the conutries dollar is not as strong as the American Dollar.
    • *It will also be Higher where the American Dollar is worth less.
• HOTEL: Promoter shall pay all hotel fees which DO NOT include any phone expenses the Representative or Associate may have.
• GROUND TRANSPORTATION: If Representative or Associate is flying to your event you will be responsible to meet him/her at the airport upon arrival as well as return them to the airport on the day of their return flight.

Low marks on items like Meeting Times (Meeting at the airport, weigh-in times, etc.etc.) Event Crew, Hotel Accommodations, Hospitality as well as the overall event itself could mean fines to you, higher future sanctioning fees or the denial of IKF Sanctioning for your future events.
