Rules
Aim
This is a Level One competition and an event for inexperienced players. It should be seen as an introduction to competition for newer players and a learning experience for all. With that in mind positive coaching is allowed, but aggressive coaching and pressuring of referees will not be tolerated. The competition will be run by club volunteers and the support of parents and coaches will be essential for the competition to be a success. We expect to develop the correct competition etiquette and environment, therefore the competition standard judogi (see below), footwear and headwear is essential.
Eligibility
- Competitors must be members of the WJA/BJA and produce their licence on the day.
- Competitors must be over 8 and under 16 on the day.
- Competitors must bring proof of age with them.
- Competitors must be between Novice and 3rd Mon on the day.
Categories
- Boys and girls red belts.
- All players will be sorted into categories of 4 or 5 where possible after weighing in.
- Every competitor will receive a medal.
- There will be a special award for ‘Spirit of the Day’.
- Every competitor except novices should have graded within the last 12 months.
Method of competition Pools
Weigh-in Weigh-in times will be posted on the club Facebook page and the club website (Carmarthenjudo.co.uk) a week before the competition (6th May). If unsure of weigh-in time please check with the organiser. Both male and female players must wear a t-shirt and judogi trousers to register and weigh-in.
Rules
- BJA Contest /Tournament Restricted Rules will apply throughout.
- No armlocks or strangles.
Insurance
The WJA/BJA has Third Party Cover and all licence holders are also covered for Third Party Liability. Competitors should therefore ensure that they are covered for temporary disability and their personal property.
Judogi
- Zori or soft footwear must be worn to the mat edge and off the mat generally.
- Female competitors must wear a plain white, short sleeved t-shirt under their judogi.
- Players must wear a white judogi (no karate or jujitsu suits allowed).
Please Note: Players turning up in the wrong attire will be turned away on the day. It is the coaches’ and parents’ responsibility to ensure these basic requirements are met.
Light refreshments will be available on the day from the club. The leisure centre also has a cafe serving hot and cold food. The consumption of your own food is also allowed.
