Awards

1 st, 2 nd, and 3 rd place medals will be awarded for each division (division consists of all competitors in one category competing in the same kata, although divisions may be combined at the discretion of the Tournament Director).

Grand Champion: As at Sr. Nationals, points will be given for 1 st, 2 nd, and 3 rd place results, and Grand Champion trophies will be awarded for the highest points earned by a competing team for Senior Men, Women, and Co-ed, if appropriate. A team must enter at least 3 katas to qualify for Grand Champion, Itsutsu-no-Kata will not be considered for Grand Champion computations, and any Grand Champion tie will be broken by comparing average scores.

Outstanding Youth: For the Junior categories, Outstanding Youth trophies will be awarded to one Junior team that has entered at least 3 kata and earned the highest points against other competing Junior teams.

Early Registration: Entries POSTMARKED up to and including September 28: $40 per kata per person for the first 3 katas entered; $15 per kata per person for any additional katas entered.

Example: Jane Smith is competing in seven katas with three different partners. She will pay 3 x $40 ($120) + 4 x $15 ($60) = $180.
