Competition Formula:

The International German Kata Championships will be judged according to the official IJF Kata Competition Rules and the DJB rules. Each participant can compete in a maximum of 2 different kata. It is not allowed to compete in the same kata more than once. If the number of participating couples in one kata is less than 10, there will be only one round and no final. The ranking after this round will be the basis for awarding the medals. If there are 10 or more couples, there will be a preliminary round with two pools and one final. After the preliminary round the top 3 couples from each pool will be qualified for the final. If there are 2 pools the top 4 finalists of the German National Kata Championships 2015 will be allocated to the pools in the following way: • Pool A: 1st place and 3rd place of the German National Kata Championships 2015, • Pool B: 2nd place and 4th place of the German National Kata Championships 2015. A draw will be used to allocate all other participants to their preliminary pools. The starting order within the preliminaries and finals is decided by the draw. The starting order will not be changed for athletes participating in a second kata. Note: For Kime no kata and Kodokan Goshin Jutsu the weapons have to be made out of wood or rubber (in case of the gun). Mock weapons, especially guns that resemble real weapons too closely, violate the German weapons law. Non-observance will lead to immediate disqualification.
