"Three Kingdoms" Colour Belt Tournament
2015-02-15 07:30 - 20:00 (America/Denver) | Pinetree Secondary School, 1260 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam, BC, Canada
This event is open to all Colour Belt age 7 and up who are members of the International Taekwon-Do Federation of British Columbia as well as special invited guests.
This event will introduce a new tournament format meant to make this competition an accessible, friendly, exciting and easy way for Coloured Belts to try the sport aspect of ITF Taekwon-Do. It will allow them to meet other Taekwon-Do students on a non-competitive basis, make friends and share their passion with others. It will be a very relaxed and fun environment with all competitors having equal opportunities to try their skills.
Competitors will be divided randomly into one of 3 teams or “Kingdoms” (Silla, Baekje or Koguryo). This way each team will have members of all different ages and ranks from all the different dojangs that participate. They will get to know each other, support each other and cheer each other on in the competition.
Each competitor will have one patterns match and one sparring match with a member of each of the 2 other teams. That way every competitor gets minimum of 2 sparring matches and 2 patterns matches.
The winner of each match will earn points for their team. When all matches are complete, the team with the most points will be declared the winner.
Awards
All members of the first place team will receive a single large gold medal. Likewise, the team with the next highest points will be awarded a large silver medal each and the third place team will have all members win a bronze medal.
Age Divisions
Minimum age is 7 years old. In competition, competitors will only face someone of similar age, rank and, in sparring, size for their matches.
Special Bonus Event!
The tournament will finish with a “Grand Champion” event that will see each team select and send their “Champion” to compete against the Champion from the other 2 teams. All registered competitors have the opportunity to compete in this bonus event. A large trophy will be awarded to the Grand Champion selected in this exciting event. Full details will be revealed at the tournament!
