In the case of a tie, both athletes will perform a kobudo kata of their choice to break the tie.

• For the 1st time this year, we will be giving away the NAKAZA CUP to the "winningest" dojo! Every time your dojo wins a medal, they get points toward the cup. At the end of the tournament, the points will be totaled and whichever dojo has the most will keep the cup for that year AND have their dojo’s name and year engraved on it.

Train Hard... your competition is!
