Tournament report:

Players completed their weigh-in and were ready. Their weights were recorded and the system calculated all correct handicap points in accordance with the criteria for the league competition in each allotted belt and weight age group division.

The day started on time, and the fights commenced with the junior age group divisions, and finishing ahead of schedule. After the lunch break, Tore Bule Turner demonstrated his Michael Jackson impersonation dance moves to the delight of the crowd, including the slides and the moon walk.

The poomsae competition went underway and each player did their best. The seniors came on after that and at the end of the day, there were quite a few sore bodies.

The concept of the league system was designed to enable players to have as many competition bouts as possible in a round robin format. The top 2 players will fight off in the final to decide the gold and silver medal winners while the next placed 3^rd and 4^th player ranked on the league ladder play off for the bronze medal.

This year’s second league comp was contested by 8 clubs and the medal tally shows:

1^st: Mandurah 8 gold, 4 silver, 1 bronze

2^nd: Halls Head: 6, 3, 2

3^rd: Narrogin: 5, 6, 2

4^th: Hedland: 3, 6, 1

5^th: Coolbellup: 3, 4, 1

6^th: Rockingham: 2, 2, 0

7^th: Padbury: 1, 1, 0

8^th: Falcon: 1, 0, 1

New equipment means better training opportunity and even new circuits.
