Am I competing in the right division?  Did my instructor/parent/guardian/friend help me to register in the correct division for my rank and level of competition?  With so many divisions it happens more often than not that a competitor finds himself competing in the wrong division only after the competition in that division has already begun.  This happens even in the various styles in the black belt divisions.

It is the responsibility of the competitor and their instructor to make sure that each competitor has signed up for the correct division.  Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Musical Weapons, Traditional Forms, Contemporary Forms, Extreme, etc..  The center judge and ring officials only need to review the competitors entrance chit supplied by the competitor when calling out for the specific division.  Therefore, if the competitor signed up for the wrong division and refuses to compete, his having signed up for the wrong division may lead to being disqualified and therefore would not be entitled to a refund.

Note: If there is any confusion as to which division you should register with, it is always best to confer with a tournament official who will be more than happy to assist you in registering accordingly.
