- COMPETITOR CLASSIFICATION -

Competitors are classified as Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced skill level
based on the following criteria :

1) according to the number of rank advancements that must be earned to achieve Black Belt, as defined by each competitor's school. The NUMBER of rank advancements, NOT Belt Colors, is then divided by 3 to establish the three expertise groups. In the event the groups do not divide equally, the lowest number of rankings shall go to the Beginners first and Intermediates second.

In example... a 10 grade rank system would break down as follows :

Beginner = 10, 9 & 8 Intermediate = 7, 6 & 5 Advanced = 4, 3, 2 & 1

2) any grade rank (under black belt) competitor who wins 1st Place in the same event in three (3) successive entries shall be automatically upgraded to the next higher skill level (competitor classification) and shall remain at that classification until either 1) the competitor is promoted out of that classification by his/her instructor OR 2) the competitor repeats winning 1st Place in the same event again in three (3) successive entries. An Advanced level competitor who wins 1st Place in three (3) successive entries shall be permanently upgraded to Black Belt classification in the respective event. Competitor classification upgrades apply ONLY to the Event(s) of three (3) successive wins.
