Getting started with Game Advisors
Conditions d’achèvement
A short book for National Federations thinking about using Game Advisors. It takes about 15 minutes to read, and there is no test.
Who already uses GAs
This page covers:
- how many GAs there are, and where
- which federations already run their own GA programmes

GAs around the world
In September 2026, WFDF's GA system (TOSS) had 349 GAs in 33 countries. About 100 of them work at world and regional events. The rest work in their own countries.
| Region | GAs | Countries |
|---|---|---|
| Asia and Oceania | 167 | 11 |
| The Americas | 132 | 8 |
| Europe | 49 | 13 |
| Africa | 1 | 1 |
The largest groups are in Colombia (69) and Australia (63). Eleven countries have just one GA, so a programme can start very small.
These are registered GAs. Not all of them work regularly. In some countries, a small group does most of the events. That small, active group matters more than the total (see Keeping your GA pool healthy, in the course Game Advisor Country Coordinators; you may need to enrol).
