Umpires

UMPIRES

Whilst there is no mandatory Umpire requirement for clubs attending the event, we would like to offer the opportunity for clubs to provide Umpires who may be inexperienced and are looking to develop their officiating skills in a supportive competition environment.

Competing gyms are welcome to register their Umpires through Sportdata (www.sportdata.org). Umpires must be at least a 1st Degree Black Belt and over the age of 16.

This event is designed to help develop both competitors and officials, and we would encourage clubs to support students or instructors who would like to gain further experience officiating at competitions.

Umpires will be required to attend for the duration of the event they are assigned to officiate and will be provided with refreshments and regular breaks throughout the day.

Umpires are asked to officiate in navy blue trousers, white shirt, navy blue tie, and white shoes.

COACHES

All Coaches must be entered via the Sportdata system as part of your overall group delegation. A Coaching Pass will cost £10.

Coaches are asked, where possible, to wear their Club Tracksuit and white shoes to ensure that Club Representatives are easily identifiable to our support team.
