This Is What A Successful Karate Tournament Depends On

By Sandra Roberts


Every game has its rules and respecting these rules is just as important as having the skills for the game. A karate tournament can be successful or fail to be successful, depending on how prepared the organizers are. Many karate lovers would love to see an event that they will always remember and even the players themselves will only feel that there was fairness if the game was without question. However, the process of getting to this successful event is critical.

The enactment of an oversight body is the beginning of this process. When the critical and key stakeholders assume their offices, the preparation for this event begins. If wrong individuals take up the leadership mantle, it would mean that the results of the championship will be skewed and the participants will feel aggrieved, leading to dissatisfaction and outcries.

Whether the participants are from across the world or locals only, make sure that pooling is done without any bias. The team tasked to oversee this process must lay down the rules that will govern the pooling process. Pooling is the pairing of participants into categories or pools in the preliminary levels of the championship. Any person of interest must never take part in the process since it will create a conflict of interest.

In every game, there must be rules. Both players and their trainers must get into the championship with the knowledge of what is accepted and what is not. Bring the participants together, read out the rules and regulations, debate on them, and reach an agreement. You can come up with a team that will listen to the grievances that may arise, and that team must be fairly constituted and be agreed upon by the key stakeholders.

Referees are the game moderators. They are a very important element of the championship, and when the game is on, they are the final judges. You must agree on who becomes the referee, any qualifications and training and such things. Have people with a good track record in order to eliminate the chances of biases.

Be clear about the objectives of the tournament. Championships are held for different reasons, and this is the reason why the participants must know the reasons for taking part from the beginning. It could be for fostering peace among the locals, to promote the talents of the youth, to help create a particular awareness and so on. Having clear objectives will help the organizers to achieve their goal easily.

Again, other than just objectives, people love incentives. Let everyone know what is in for them so as invest their time and money with the ultimate prize in mind. Incentives could be in terms of money, sponsorship, trophies and belts, global tours, among other things.

In the end, everyone must play their role with diligence and high integrity. It must be known that each element is a part of a bigger system and, therefore, must be appreciated accordingly to motivate and create an opportunity for a better tomorrow. Remember that when you become successful, other people will want to emulate you, but when you fail, you must learn from your mistakes. However, do not wait to learn from your mistakes since they can be fatal.
