It is allowed to perform the same kata in the finals, semifinals and the 3 rd & 4 th place round (exception: Golden League). If less than 4 participants/teams are registered, two categories can be put together. In this case compulsory and free katas stay the same according to the grade. The key date for age classification is the age at tournament day (U16 = not yet 16 years of age). Participants at the age of 14 and 15 are allowed to additionally participate in the +16 categories. To save time, we reserve the right to have the lower belt U16 individual categories perform their kata simultaneously. If so, this would only be the case in the preliminary rounds. A lower belt competitor is allowed to compete in a higher belt category, however has to choose only 1 individual and/or 1 team category.
