W.K.C. New for 2012


1. New team fighting divisions:
This year we will separate the cadets and juniors into separate team fighting categories.
Our new Team fighting divisions for both Boys and girls will be:
Kids, 12yrs and under. 3 fighters, -35kg, -45kg, +45kg
Cadets 13-15yrs - 3 Fighters, any weight
Juniors 16-17yrs - 3 fighters, any weight

2. Two Point Victory rule:
This year all point matches must be decided by a margin of victory, equal or greater than 2 points.
This means that at the end of the match if the score is tied or if one fighter is only ahead by 1 point,
then the fight continues until one fighter is ahead by 2 points. This rule also replaces and eliminates
the current overtime format of a mandatory 1 minute overtime period.

3. New Team kata division:
This year we will separate the traditional team kata into Adult Traditional Team and Junior Traditional
Team Kata. Only Adult competitors can be on the Adult Team and only Juniors, 17yrs and under,
can be on the Junior Team. The Open Team kata division remains the same, where a team can consist
of competitors of any age.

4. New Continuous Team Fighting Divisions:
All team fights both junior and adults are 1 round of 2 minutes.
Men 3 person {-70kg, -80kg, +80kg}
Women 3 person {-55kg, -65kg, +65kg}
Veteran Men {-75kg, -85kg, +85kg}
Junior Boys {-60kg, -70kg, +70kg}
