There is to be a Round Robin tournament held on 28th March at Onslow College.
Normally ITF tournaments are "knock-out" competitions... as soon as you lose you are out. With a round robin competition this does not happen and you will have multiple opportunities to compete.
The tournament will have both patterns and sparring competitions.

The 2010 National Tournament is doubling up with the Oceania Champs, and also this tournament is a "dress rehearsal" for the 2011 World Champs that Wellington are hosting. We need lots of support to make this a success.
We are looking for volunteers to assist us with a variety of jobs, ranging from setting up of the venue, timekeepers, runners to pack up at the end.
