SouthWest Games – Bunbury

South West Games Inc. will be hosting the tri-annual South West Games which will fall in 2010 for this cycle.  The SW Games will run from March 19 to March 28, with taekwondo (as one of its long term permanant sports) scheduled for 28 March in Bunbury, the host city.

The Games is contested by players who are residents from the South West region and involves a plethora of sports and other competitions to vie for the honour of best sporting shire-or-city for the South West region.  Of course, the official winners must reside within one of the 17 South West Local Government shires or cities.  So, out of the clubs in our ATA Western Australia clubs, it would be mostly players and members from the Falcon, Halls Head and Mandurah clubs, but they will be representing their shire or city where they reside rather than their club.

The South West Games started in 1985 in Bunbury and is modelled along the concept of multi sports games as played in such environments of the Olympic Games or the Commonwealth Games.  It is a popular concept and brings all regional sports persons together in friendly competition.  However, in celebrating the 25th year anniversary, the South West Games organisers are including players who reside in non South West regions

More information on the Taekwondo part of the games will be posted here as soon as more is confirmed.

Venue:  Bunbury PCYC, Parade Road, Bunbury

Weigh-in:  Saturday 27^th March at 5 pm

or Sunday 28^th March at  8 to 9 am or at 11 am

 Competition schedule: – Sunday 28^th March 2010.

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
