Youth Events:• Must be 14 or under to participate.

Novice Randori: (Tanto and Toshu events)• This is a new idea to get more people, of any rank, sex, or experience level, involved in randori. There are noprizes, so no one need worry about winning. It will be stressed that this is a “relaxed”, “learning” environment.The referees will be experienced players who will give instruction and advice to participants during thematches. All calls will be explained so that they are understood. Everyone who signs up will get 2 rounds ofplay whether they “win” or “lose”. If you participate in these events you may NOT enter the Individual OpenRandori Event of the same flavor. In other words, if you participate in Novice Toshu, you may not enterIndividual Open Toshu, however if you have not done Novice Tanto, then you may enter the Open Tanto event.

Open Randori:• Indicate if you wish to enter Tanto and / or Toshu. There will be women’s and men’s divisions in each event.

Kata Events:• Note that Kyu Junanahon and Dai San events will be run at the same time, on different mats, so you may enterone or the other but not both.• Note that in the Kyu Junanahon, both partners must be Kyu rank.• Note that the Freestyle and Weapons kata events will be run at the same time, on different mats, so you mayenter one or the other but not both.

Random Partner Kata: (This is a FUN event. Everyone is strongly encouraged to participate!)• Each pair will perform the first 10 techniques of Junanahon.• Partners will be randomly drawn approximately ½ hour before competition.• Dan ranks will be paired with Kyu Ranks as much as possible.• Each partner should Tori for 5 techniques and Uke for 5 techniques (Not required if one partner has an injury).• Any method of attack is acceptable.
