Helderberg Karate League 2

Good day to all Dojo Owners,

Western Cape Shotokan Karate Academy would like to invite your dojo to participate in the second leg of the Karate League Championship.

This tournament caters for Traditional Martial Arts and Non-Olympic karate (Japanese & Korean) and it is a friendly, but highly competitive championship for all dojos. Through this championship we would like to encourage friendship, participation, and interaction, irrespective of style and organisation and would love to see you there.
Furthermore, the championship is an opportunity for dojos to introduce their novice students to a competition environment, as well as to prepare their more experienced athletes for upcoming provincial and national tournaments.

Please note the following:
NO regional or provincial colours will be awarded at the championship.
This is merely a friendly competition, and has no bearing whatsoever on any organisation, team selection or any other form of merit other than the Karate League Invitation Championship results.

Unfortunately, NO refunds will be given for no-shows or competitors who, due to illness are unable to compete on the day of the championship.

REGISTER your referees, judges, and jury table officials as per the online registration process.
Our aim is for the development of the athletes and officials, so we are hoping for a fun day of friendly competition and learning.

All payments and entries must be given to the Dojo Head of each Dojo. The Dojo Head must please transfer their dojo’s entries as a bulk payment. NO entries from individual students from any Dojo will be accepted.

Please note entries will close on 4th August 2023. We need to finalise the following in advanced:
• Compile and finalise the Male & Female Divisions and to identify if there are any mistakes and or incorrect entries.
• Compile and finalise the drawsheets for each division.
• Calculate the correct total entries so that we can plan accordingly how many tatami’s we need for the day of the tournament to ensure it is professional and running smoothly.
• To determine the total referees, judges, and jury table officials that will assist at the competition.
• To finalise the Order of Event for the tournament.

Attached are the following documents:
1. Tournament Invitation Letter with all the necessary info.
2. Competitor Entry & Indemnity Form that MUST be completed and signed by the competitor.
3. Tournament Categories & Style Belt Rank

If there are any other queries or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

We look forward to seeing you all there!
