COACHES CREDENTIALS AND PASSES
Coaches may check-in during the regular registration times. All coaches must show proof of current

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
During weigh-ins, competitors will be permitted to test weigh on the official scale as often as they like.
We promise to do everything possible to run this tournament as fair as humanly possible, with our main
concern and attention being given to the competitors.
Because this is an international tournament with young competitors from different countries speaking
different languages, we reserve the right to re-fight a match if necessary because of any
misunderstandings or mistakes on the part of a player or coach making what we determine to be an honest
error. We see no harm in re-fighting a match under these circumstances.
Please keep in mind this tournament is not a “point tournament” for US competitors at this time (although
that is our goal in the future). Rather this tournament is to serve as a quality, international experience for
all of our competitors.
We realize problems in transportation can arise due to no error on the part of the competitors. If a
problem arises, please call and speak to one of the following people. The phone numbers provided are
cell phone numbers which should get you in contact with the tournament staff in case of such as
emergency.
