New Season Starts up With Some Changes
The new season is coming up fast and we have a few changes this year that will offer a new challenge to some of the competitors looking for something different.
Instead of the Finalist competing for a Belt at the end of the season, we are having Custom Trophies done for the winner of the Divisions for the Championship Divisions AND for Children 8 and up. All 4 events will be counted towards the final score and the person with the highest score will be presented the trophy at the final event April 28.
For winning an event the scores awarded are:
1st = 5 points
2nd = 3 points
3rd = 2 points
4th and on = 1 point
For the Children, they will collect their points for each event at the age they are at the beginning of the season Sept 30. We will have a trophy for the child that has the highest score in the 8/9, 10/11, 12/13, 14-16 year old divisions. Although some of these divisions will have more than one weight class, we will be only giving a trophy the the child that has the highest score in that age group. In the event of a tie between two children in different weight classes, we will award the child who has the best individual event scores.
For example, if child #1 in the light weight division has a score of 4,4,4,4 =16 and child #2 in the heavy weight division has a score of 5,3,4,4 = 16 then the winner will be child #2 because of the 5 point (1st place) score.
I have been wanting to do something special for the children for sometime now. We have put some thought into this and hope to make this a fair and fun series this year.
Please be sure to read the rules for the event HERE if you have any questions please email me at myackulic@arashido.com
We look forward to having everyone out this year,
