Six months before the competition takes place the board of the UIPCG has to accept the detailed concept presented by the organising member association. The World Championship is under the patronage of the UIPCG, the General Secretariat coordinates the organisation and is responsible for the write - off and registration procedure.

Experience in national competitions or in auditing are preconditions for the appointment as a member of the jury.

The chief expert coordinates the briefing and supervision of the participants and the assessment of the works performed. He introduces the jury members to their tasks. Therefore there is an approved valuation system of the UIPCG board available. The organising member association appoints one expert who is head of
the workshop and who is at the chief exper's disposal. This expert is
responsible for equipment, hygiene and raw materials. The decision whether compensation is paid to the chief expert and the other jury members or not is up to the relevant member associations.
