Athletes will be classed only according to their year of birth (whether they had already turned the age or they are going to turn it during this year).
Only kata of traditional styles are permitted (Shotokan, Shito-Ryu, Goju-Ryu, Wado-Ryu).
At each round, except for the rank categories from white to orange belts that can repeat the same kata, the competitors must present a different kata. Even on a decisive match on a drawn score a different kata must be presented but it could be repeated on the next round.
In the brown and black belt category before each poule the competitor must tell the kata he will do to the jury table. Only in this category finals and semifinals with flags.
Remember that Blue and Red belts will not be supplied by the organizer.
All the competitor not provided with their own belts will be disqualified.
If during the competitions some categories will have an insufficient number of registered athletes, the organization can unquestionably decide to move them to another category (the closest one). Considering the character of the event no complaint will be admitted.
