If you have never volunteered before or are an old hand, whether you want to judge poomsae or sparring, you are invited to join the tournament team. Besides learning or brushing up on USAT regulations and gaining insights into best practices for judging poomsae and sparring, you will be trained in the use of state-of-the-art, electronic, wireless scoring gear provided by Impact Measurement Inc. Practice what you learn in an intense session dedicated solely to improving your skills! | |
For volunteering you'll receive a special recognition souvenir and complimentary shared accommodation at our official tournament hotel. A modest honorarium will be payed to USAT-or WTF-cerfied referees. During the tournament you'll also receive a complimentary breakfast, lunch and unlimited access to food! Afterward, join other special guests at our invitation-only banquet. Don't miss this opportunity! | |
Please contact our Head Referee Vincent Lo (vlo@cs.stanford.edu) if you have any questions. | |
