Note on Draws:
Draws are not final until day of tournament and even then there will be adjustments made to ensure that all participants are in the correct divisions and will have competition in their division. Draws are computer randomly sorted. When a category or person is combined or moved the system reshuffles the draw.

Inclusive/Adaptive Division:
This division is open to the following:
Groups will be divided at the time of the tournament depending on the amount of participants at the tournament.
• Group A: Competitors have full mobility of arms and legs (competitors can kick above the waist and extend arms fully for hand techniques) or have a higher level of cognitive skills. Competitors perform patterns with assistance from the instructor/coach. Instructor/Coach assists from outside the ring. People who qualify to compete in this group will have been injured serving in the military and or are veterans.
• Group B: Competitors have limited mobility of arms and/or legs (do not kick above the waist, do not extend arms
fully for hand techniques) or have a lower level of cognitive skills. Competitors perform basic skills such as blocking,
striking, and kicking techniques with direction from an instructor/ coach. The instructor/coach may be in the ring with
a competitor and perform technique/form alongside of the competitor.
• Group C: Competitors compete in a wheelchair. Competitor performs techniques/ forms on their own.

THIS IS A NON-CONTACT TOURNAMENT
The printed rules clearly state: “Each contestant is responsible for the control of his/her techniques.” All competitors must wear protective equipment that is required by the referee counsel; gloves, helmet, mouth guard & groin protection (males). Other protective equipment can be worn as long as it is allowed by the chief referee. The wearing of the equipment is for the protection of the participants, NOT TO PROMOTE CONTACT. Contact violations will be given by the referee panel. 3 violations will result in disqualification. The Referee, with a majority vote, may elevate a contact violation if necessary, including up to disqualification. Any contestant maliciously causing injury to their opponent will be disqualified immediately and will be awarded Shikkaku, exit from the tournament.
