KA Spring Tournament 2017 Message from the Tournament Director: The entire team at Karate Alberta is pleased to bring you a one day tournament, open to both KA members and other traditional karate clubs. The tournament will be used for KA members vying for a position on the KA Provincial Team for Nationals 2018. The Tournament will be opened up to the greater Karate community not currently registered with KA in hopes that they will consider joining KA in the future. There will be four to five tatamis operating and we are confident that with the help of our dedicated volunteers and officials the day will run smoothly and efficiently. In order to ensure that our Sportdata team is not overrun with last minute requests there will be a FIRM registration deadline. There will be plenty of reminders before the deadline to ensure the process is reasonable and fair. We cannot accept late registrations and changes (without monetary penalty), exceptions will be only be made for medical reasons, Dr. note required. As always, we will need volunteers to help marshal competitors, keep score and time the matches at the tables. Each dojo will be required to provide minimum 3 people for table work or officials. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday June 4, 2017!
