  3. SCHEDULING YOUR EVENT
     • As in any other Professional Sanctioning Body (NBA, NFL etc.) the ISCF will continue to assure events will not conflict with one another when it comes to event scheduling. Knowing this, we have established the following guidelines for scheduling an ISCF Sanctioned event:
       • If your proposed ISCF Sanctioned event is more than 50 miles from any other already scheduled ISCF Sanctioned event, the following rules do not apply to you and your proposed ISCF Sanctioned event.
       • If your proposed ISCF Sanctioned event is within 50 Miles In The Same State Or Across Any Bordering State, ISCF Scheduling protocols require that the second scheduling promoter schedule their event date a minimum of:
         • REVISED ON 12-6-06: 5 Days BEFORE or 5 Days AFTER the already scheduled Promoter who's event is already scheduled on the ISCF Events page. (The scheduled event days do not count as counted days)
       • If you are in need of a certain date that falls at or inside the required guidelines above you may request to the ISCF Headquarters a written request for a "waiver of date guideline" by e-mail to sanction@iscfmma.com
       • Such a request must include a detailed reason why you "NEED" the requested date and why you cannot extend your date to the required guidelines as noted above.
       • If the already scheduled ISCF Promoter agrees to waive the time guidelines you will be allowed to schedule your event inside the required time guidelines listed above.
         
         
  4. APPROVAL PROCESS
     • Your ISCF Promoters Application will be Approved or Denied within 7 business days from the day it is received here at the ISCF Headquarters.
     • If denied you will be notified in writing via e-mail of the reasons for your denial and given suggestions on how to attain approval if possible.
     • If approved your event will be listed on the ISCF Events page.
       
       
  5. OTHER FIGHTING STYLES
     • If you are planning on having Kickboxing as part of your event, you will be required to sanction your kickboxing portion of your event with the IKF. For IKF sanctioning Click HERE.
