2.13.087 After the deadline of 1st October, the auditor and the organisational auditor shall each forward to the UCI their opinion on the registration documentation submitted by the UCI Women’s WorldTeam or by the licence applicant. The opinion shall indicate whether the file contains the documents necessary for the examination of the financial audit and the organisational audit as well as the following essential documents in particular: the sponsorship contracts duly signed with the principal partners, the bank guarantee and, for the new teams only, a description of the structure of the team together with a copy of the deed of incorporation of the paying agent. 

The opinions do not constitute a validation of the conformity of said documents with the requirements of the applicable laws and regulations. 

The UCI Women’s WorldTeam or the licence applicant shall receive a copy of the opinion of the auditor and the opinion of the organisational auditor. 

2.13.088 The UCI shall then publish a list of the UCI Women’s WorldTeams or licence applicants which have submitted a registration file containing all the essential documents on its website. 

2.13.089 A failure to submit all the essential documents will give the riders the right to terminate their contracts as provided for under article 9.1.f of the model contract under article 2.13.180. 

This right of termination lapses upon the registration of the UCI Women’s WorldTeam in the first division. 

2.13.090 In the event of a failure to submit all the essential documents, the penalties for lateness provided for in articles 2.13.078 and 2.13.086 remain applicable. 

2.13.091 The UCI Women’s WorldTeams or licence applicants that have not submitted all the essential documents listed in article 2.13.087 by 20 October will not be registered and will be excluded from the UCI Women’s WorldTour licence application process or registration process. 

2.13.092 All expenses resulting from additional work, carried out by the auditor or the organisational auditor on a UCI Women’s WorldTeam, or a team that is a candidate for this status, may be invoiced to the team as additional audit costs. 

## Assessment 

2.13.093 On 1$^{st}$ November, the UCI administration will issue its assessment of the UCI Women’s WorldTeams and licence applicants. 

For each registration, the UCI will determine if the team can be considered, on the basis of the criteria it deems relevant, as the continuation of an active team during the current season. The UCI may ask for any additional information it deems appropriate to determine whether the applicant can be considered as the continuation of an existing team. 

2.13.094 The documentation for the licence application will be passed over to the licence commission. Should the commission grant a UCI Women’s WorldTour licence, it shall approve the team’s registration for the first year of the licence at the same time. 

2.13.095 The UCI Women’s WorldTeams that hold a UCI WorldTour licence whose documentation is found to be in order by the UCI administration shall be registered directly for the following registration year.
