Like last year, a repechage format will be used for Olympic style sparring and WTF and ITF singles forms competitions. All competitors will receive a minimum of two matches with the loser bracket fighting back to 3rd place. A single elimination format will be used for Doubles Poomse and Tag-Team Gyroogi.

If you are not a current Montana Taekwondo Association (MTA) member please strongly consider supporting the MTA by becoming a member for $25. Your membership will give you a $15 discount on registration fees for the Great Falls Invitational Tournament. Remember too that your MTA

This training is open to all parents and family members who would like to understand the rules and scoring for both poomse and sparring and would like to be able to assist during tournaments in the future.  The seminar will be held at Montana Taekwondo Academy, 320 Lawrence.  Cost for the seminar is $25 for folks who want to be certified to referee during events (you will receive an MTA referee polo shirt) or $10 for folks that just want to audit the class, but not receive certification.

Championship Training is planning to host a tournament next year and we will need to provide a large group of referees and volunteers to do this.  This class is a great first step in being able to help us reach that goal!

Registration can be picked up at the gym or downloaded here.  Please talk with Mr. Corbin if you have questions!
