Tournament Packet Posted Changes
to INCTL Rules Announced Forms competition The league will now officially restrict forms to WTF/Kukkiwon forms. For color belt divisions, that means only Taeguek forms will be accepted. For the black belt divisions, that means the Kukkiwon Yudanja forms Koryo, Keumgang, Taebaek, Pyongwon, or Sipjin. Furthermore, the forms should be performed according to the latest WTF/Kukkiwon standards. For the black belt divisions, all competitors will be judged under a modified version of the new WTF scoring methodology. That means that each competitor will be judged one at a time, and will receive separate scores for accuracy and performance. Because it will take longer to process these black belt divisions, each school will be restricted to entering 2 male and 2 female competitors in the black belt forms divisions. There are no restrictions on the number of color belt competitors that schools may enter in each division. Color belts will still be judged two at a time. While the full WTF scoring system may not be used, forms should still be performed according the WTF standard. The forms performed in each division should be: White/yellow:
Taeguek 1 and 2 Weight divisions New weight divisions were determined by the board to more evenly distribute students across weight divisions. The new weight classes for the INCTL are: Men's Lightweight:
