Verification & Weigh-In

ID Cards & Weigh-In Process

Check-in has three steps:

1. ID Card Collection

• Each Club/Association receives a tournament pack with ID cards and wristbands for its athletes and coaches.

• The Head of Association or Club Representative must collect these before individual registrations.

• Wristbands must be worn at all times during the competition. Competitors not wearing one may be charged for entry.

​​

2. Competitor Registration

• All competitors must register in person with their ID card, wearing Dobok bottoms and a T-shirt.

• ID cards are verified and stamped to confirm attendance.

• Where a competitor has entered at a higher grade for National Team selection, their ID card will show the grade entered.

• Only competitors entered in sparring need a height or weight check. Competitors not entered in sparring only need their ID verified, in a dedicated area.

​​

3. Height & Weight Check

• Sparring competitors are checked to confirm they are in the correct division.

• All White & Coloured Belt competitors receive the ITF standard weight allowance of 500g. Coloured Belt competitors also receive a height allowance of 2cm.

​

Black Belt competitors receive a weight allowance of 5% for their sparring division. For example, a competitor in the -50kg division may weigh in at up to 52.5kg.
