IMPORTANT CHANGES FOR THIS EVENT:

COACH PASSES: From 1st October 2008, ALL Coaches MUST produce a VALID BJA Coach Award card in person at BJA centrally administered National Events in order to be eligible for the following:

• To gain entry to BJA centrally administered National Events (ALL Coaches, whether coaching or not on the day, will be eligible for a 50% reduction on the spectator fee on production of their BJA Coach Award card, except for the GB World Cup)

• To gain mat side access with their player at a BJA centrally administered National Event (Only one coach per player will be permitted at any one time).

This new ruling has been introduced to enforce that only licensed Coaches can obtain mat side access. All Coaches who have a BJA Coach Award card currently without photo I.D must ensure that a photo is sent to the BJA Head Office prior to the 1st October 2008 in order to be eligible for the above. No photo = No mat side access and no 50% off the event spectator fee. All Coaches who have not to date sent a photo to the BJA have been written to directly and have had prior notice. Those who this is applicable to, have 3 months in order to complete this task.

BLUE & WHITE JUDOGI’S COMPULSORY FOR THIS EVENT: An unanimous Board decision was made on the 24th June that this ruling will be fully implemented at BJA centrally administered National Events from now onwards.

The BJA will provide blue judogis for those athletes whose own suit fails judogi control or is damaged.

No blue suit = No entry

ELIGIBILITY PROOF: All entrants must send one of the following documents to us with your entry form:

a) A photocopy of a British Passport

b) A photocopy of a British Birth Certificate

c) A photocopy of necessary documentation to confirm residency and age (see exception below)

Exception:

We are aware that there may be a very small number of players competing at this level of judo resident in the UK who due to their families’ legal status will be unable to obtain certain documentation until the player themselves are 16 years of age.

The organisers would ask that the parents and/or coaches of these players to contact James Sills or Emma Taylor to discuss their entry.
