• The competition will start with the patterns events, first with the juniors and some designated cadet and adult divisions.
• Each competition area will be allocated with an area number that will be indicated by the number on the tablecloth and a numbered signpost. There will also be a coloured sign, signifying the belt colour and category of the current division, situated underneath the numbered signpost at head high level.
• Listen out for an announcement of the start of your division on an allocated area over the Public Address System. (You can also check the running order, which may be displayed on a plasma screen somewhere in the hall, when available.)
• All juniors will be height tested before the sparring competition starts at an allocated area (i.e. all yellow belt boys, all heights).
• All cadets & adults will be weighed in before they spar at the allocated area for that division.
Failure to be height tested / weighed in will result in a competitor not being entered for the sparring event (if they are competing in the sparring event).
You must make sure that you are in the right competition area at the right time. If you are unsure, then you must ask your instructor or an official.
