First of all a great big thanks must go to John Aballah and Shawn Sutton, who put in many long nights getting this tournament ready on time. The tireless work of getting a draw done for a tournament is a thankless task and Mr Abdallah does it very well indeed.

Secondly I would like to give a shout out to Mr Michael McGaw and the IL Shim Bundaberg club for turning up again, in their umpiring whites. They have really taken it upon themselves to show everyone that they have indeed been listening to my requests for this top happen.

DSC00839As we were quite a few umpires short, the day went quite a bit longer than expected, but with the mammoth efforts of Mr Fischer and Mr McGaw, we were able to get through the day! Mrs Harper put in a machine like effort marshalling, corner judging,computer entering etc!!

One of the highlights of my day was getting to patterns judge with Master McPhail!

Overall I feel that the tournament was a success. Do I think we can improve? Of course! There is always room for improvement in all aspects, and we strive constantly to review and implement the changes necessary for us to move forward.

There are too many people to thank individual so THANK YOU TO ALL THAT HELPED ON THE DAY!!!!

Why do we have ITF-sanctioned tournaments?

  1. to determine the winner of each championship title
  2. to encourage the development of lasting friendships among Taekwon-Do practitioners
  3. to promote technical improvement

The Junior and Senior World Championships are held every two years in the odd-numbered years.

To compete in World Championships, participants must hold an ITF Black Belt degree certificate. They must be national champions in their own countries or be chosen by trial. Each member country National Association names a delegation of competitors and others who will represent that country at the championship tournament.

The World Cup, an open competition, is held every two years in the even-numbered years.

The World Cup competition is open to blue, red and black belts.

Any school, club and/or individual who is not part of the ITF must have permission from the National Association to take part in the World Cup. Any club, school, individual or country may participate with as many individual and/or team members in the same division and or category.

The choice of location and dates of each World Championship and World Cup competition is made by the ITF Congress meeting from the list of qualified candidates submitted by the Tournament & Umpire Committee, which coordinates the calendar of events to avoid scheduling conflicts.

Each Continental Federation determines the frequency of its Continental Championships, which must receive the sanction of the ITF Tournament & Umpire Committee. Continental Federations choose the dates and location of continental and regional competitions, which also must receive ITF sanction.

ITF Tournament and Umpire rules are applied in all competitions.

The ITF strives to provide top quality competition and organization at all its tournaments. Safety is a priority, as is efficient and fair umpiring. Participants are expected to demonstrate sportsmanship and reflect the true spirit of ITF Taekwon-Do at all times.
