Hello Judges,

Judges assignments will be done ahead of time and we will just do a judges briefing and check in the morning of at 9am.

Lunch will be provided for all judges.

Judges, Quick Reminders:

Tigers Division – This is the only division the competitors don’t compete side by side (it messes them up). We still bring 2 back to point to winner.

Rapid Kick Division – If there is a tie there is to be a 2nd round, if tie again, break the tie with paper, rock, scissor.

Sparring Division – It takes one person to confirm a point.

Weapons Division – If someone drops their weapon, it’s a point deduction. If a competitor breaks their weapon at no fault of their own they have 90 seconds to replace it with no deduction. If they are unable to replace their weapon or break their weapon due to their form, they forfeit the round.
