1. Introduction of E-Gloves – Seniors & Selected Junior Divisions
We will be introducing the new E-Gloves for Senior divisions and selected Junior divisions at Nationals.
Courts 3 & 4 (Black Belts only) will operate using the new E-Gloves, giving athletes the opportunity to experience and trial the technology that will be introduced at World Taekwondo events moving forward.
Shared-use E-Gloves will be available and will remain on Courts 3 & 4 for athletes who do not already have their own.
Athletes who prefer to have their own gloves will also be able to purchase them through Fight HQ, with stock available at the event.
2. Competition Start Time – 8:00am
Due to the high number of registrations, competition will commence from 8:00am each day.
Athletes and coaches are asked to carefully monitor their match numbers and scheduled match times and ensure they arrive with sufficient time to warm up and report to marshalling when required.
Please do not rely solely on announcements. It is the responsibility of athletes and coaches to monitor the competition schedule and be ready when called.
