Kumite Rules All matches to be 1½ minutes All teams to be three persons (Minimum of two competitors). Mixed gender teams to compete M-F-MNo head or face contact in 13 Years and under age group categories

Kata Rules

Any kata from the official WKF list is permissible. Bunkai is not required in team events!

All first round competitors to be Aka, all finalists to be Ao.

All categories which could include novice grades may repeat their kata. These include KA1, KA2, KA5, KA9, KA12, KA15, KA16, KA18, & KA20.

All categories which will not include novice grades must perform different kata for each performance. These include KA3, KA4, KA6, KA7, KA8, KA10, KA11, KA13, KA14, KA17, & KA19.

We feel that competitors would benefit from a system comparable to that of the current WKF points rules, rather than the previous flag system. As such, all categories at this competition will be run using a points system. For logistical reasons we are not in a position to run the full WKF rules, so we have devised a similar method which does at least help prepare your students for the future. We also feel that our method is the fairest available, ensuring that larger populated categories are broken down into smaller groups, in a similar method to that of the WKF. Each sub group of a category will then select the top 2 or 3 competitors to progress to the final, as per the table below.

In all kata categories, 1st 2nd & 3rd place medals will be presented. Ties will be separated where necessary by the performance of an additional and different kata, taking into account the above rules on the number of different kata required for that particular category. Ties for 3rd place in a final will be awarded joint 3rd place, with no additional kata being required. Ties for 1st & 2nd in any first round will see both competitors progress to the final in their original round 1 performance order, with no additional kata being required.

All categories will be run over two rounds. The finalists will be the 2 or 3 highest scoring competitors from their respective groups, as per the table below. Groups will be constructed according to the number of entrants in any given category.

All groups from a single category will be contested on the same tatami. It should be noted that each group will be contested in its own right, with the top 2 or 3 competitors from each group progressing to the final, as per the table below.

Scores from the individual groups within a category will not be amalgamated to decide the finalists.

2019 Amendments

Kata

The President of Wado UK John Moreton would like to add 2 additional categories to our event, these both being disabled kata categories. The 1st will be for those competitors of any age, grade and gender who require the assistance of a wheelchair, and the 2nd for those of any age, grade and gender who are able to perform without wheelchair assistance. Though these categories are not on the entry form itself, they can be added to your entry form submission with the following codes. WDK1, or DK1, where the W signifies wheelchair. Please note that the rule preventing competitors from stepping up to contest other categories still applies.

We will also cater for those coaches wishing to enter these additional categories on the day.

Kumite

Where a team kumite match requires a deciding bout due to a mathematical draw, a coin toss will decide which coach decides which gender should contest the additional match. This means if he or she selects the female competitor of their team, the opposing team must also select their female competitor. If he or she decides on a male member from their team, the opposing team can then select from their two male team-members.

Parking

There is free parking at the venue spread across various areas of the campus.

Catering

The Hull University will be offering catering on the day, which is suggested will include a couple of hot options, as well as stocked fridges with sandwiches, salads and pasta pots etc.
