Participation in the 2012 National Championships' Referee Clinic Mandatory on Both Days for All Referees
The Officials' Committee, in reviewing the recent important changes to WKF Kumite Competition Rules, has determined that it is optimal and hence necessary to provide referees with the chance to familiarize themselves with these crucial changes over both days of the National Referee Clinic (while still devoting time to kata as well) which will be held prior to the 2012 National Championships, on March 14-15. All referees who will officiate at this year's Nationals are therefore required to take part in both days of this mandatory Referee Clinic. The event's Information Bulletin has been slightly amended to reflect this (click here to view version 2.2 of the 2012 Karate Canada National Championships Information Bulletin). We thank you for your cooperation.
