As a referee I commit to the following while being a guest of Oslo International Ammerud Open:
- I understand that I as a referee have been entrusted with a position of authority and it is unacceptable to make anyone feel unsafe, objectified, sexually harassed, belittled, or not respected while attending Oslo International Ammerud Open. This applies to all behavior on and off the court.
