2. Events
The Tournament will include Sparring, Patterns & Panther Challenge
(We will resume power and special techniques next year hopefully after the pandemic, once running on a more normal schedule).
Basically we want to cater for all ages and belt levels, including black belts.
a) Patterns: I.T.F./Chang Hon Style Patterns

• 1 Optional pattern during preliminary rounds & 1 or 2 optional patterns in the final round.
Children 1 pattern also in the final.
b) Sparring:
• The TSA Invitational will follow the rules of the (Choi Jung Hwa) Canada International Taekwon-
Do Federation (I.T.F) (This includes point scoring, warnings, fouls and patterns). Contact Norman
for detailed info on points etc: taekwondosouthafrica@gmail.com
• Once a competitor has been called upon by the table to be present in the ring, a maximum of 2
minutes will be allowed to find that person before he/she will be disqualified.
• Elimination rounds is 1 x 2 minute round, and the final consist of
2 x 2 minute rounds.
• Kids sparring (5yrs to 12yrs) will be 1 x 1 minute round, final 2 x 1 minute rounds.
(Lengths may be shorter due to possible mask wearing depending on regulations, as well as
longer break, confirmd closer to time)
No head contact for kids. (From 10yrs possibly light head tap contact to the head guard).
• Full sparring gear (including hand, foot, shin & (groin guard for males and mouth guards) is
COMPULSORY, Head Guard is advised.
• Sparring rules may be changed by the umpire during or before a match with out notice. Such
as stopping head contact if it is deemed necessary or implementing a one or two punch rule,
especially but not limited to the Panther, Junior age and Senior novice divisions.
c) Panther Challenge Taekwon-Do event course (4yrs to 6yrs old)

(Older kids can do it if they are not planning on competing in the other divisions).
• The Panthers course will consist of an obstacle type course format with the little ones moving to
different Taekwon-Do related exercises. As an example there will be sparring, floor exercises eg
coming forward with punches etc, pad work some fun wrestling and fitness & strength exercises.
Once completed all of the participants will receive an award & certificate. A full programme of
this fun event for the Panthers will be sent in due course.
The Tournament will cater for categories in the following divisions:

Any of these and the following can be changed on the day to suit the circumstances.
Panther Cubs Challenge - 4yrs to 6yrs
Panthers - 7yrs to 12yrs
Juniors - 13yrs to 17yrs
Seniors - 18yrs to 35yrs
Veterans - 36yrs & up (depending on category size, may be combined with Seniors)
all White Belt/ Yellow Stripes to Black Belts up to Sixth (VI) Dan are welcome to enter.
• The number of categories will depend on the number of entrants and will only be finalized the
day before. A category must have at least 3 participants. For small categories we could change
to Round Robin or loosers pool, or for any category. Categories can also be put together in the
case of too few entrants.
• There is no coaching at the ring at this tournament. The head coach of a team is the only one
allowed to present an official protest at a cost of R300.
• A “Corner judging course” will be given before start of the tournament.
3. Results
The result is final. No changes will be considered afterwards. The referee remains the master of the
floor. Disqualifications will be made only by the tournament director only after consultation with the
referee and corner judges. The Tournament organisers’ decision in any contested result will be final.
Parents/ Spectators are forbidden from making protests regarding judging. An instructor may make an
official protest at R300 to the tournament director only as the match ends (the next match must be
paused.) Clear video proof from different angles is necessary and unless hugely obvious by a very wide
margin of clean scoring points, multiple infringements or warnings were not marked, it will not be
considered. Regarding patterns it is difficult as the judges could be looking at the other competitor when
a technical mistake/s happens, so that cannot be the sole reason for a patterns complaint.

6.Spectators & Coaches Conduct

Spectators are to remain in the designated areas.
All spectators including family and friends are to remember that we are a civilised martial art and no
heckling will be allowed. If necessary point deductions, warnings or disqualifications can be given to the
competitor for their spectators or coaches behaviour. Positive encouragement like “go”, “keep it up” etc
are encouraged, provided, it is not done in an elevated, over exited or over powering voice. Clapping in a
positive way is also great provided it is not too hard or overpowering, also not at inappropriate times,
like for instance points being deducted from the opposing competitor etc.
Keep in mind that Taekwon-Do scoring is not an exact science and judges do it to the best of their ability.
It is not a life & death event, it is a friendly competition.
Also remember any possible complaints have to be done through your clubs instructor.
No alchahol is to be consumed at the event.
We look forward to having you come and enjoy a great day with us.
7. Conclusion
Let this tournament elevate the name Taekwon-Do. Friendly rivalry is very good in the right spirit and
with the end result being improvement by all who participate. This will be strictly for the individuals who
compete and an over all club or federation winner will not be awarded as part of the day. This allows for
this competition to be seen in the friendly spirit it is intended to be.
Taekwon-Do should stick together among all of the other martial arts out there!
