TRAVEL:  This year there are many cars going, so an organized caravan is not going to happen.

Those riding in the church van will be leaving the church parking lot at 6am Friday morning.  We will be traveling through the US and need to get there in time for the BB testing.  If you need travel assistance, see Mr. Gartland.  There will be cars going that have open spaces.

Tournament Fee: $50.00.  This is for every single competitor.  Make sure you get your tournament fees to me ASAP.  Tournament fees can go up if you decide to participate in the board breaking competition or the basic kicking competition.  Be prepared to tell Mr. Gartland what events you want to compete in.

Hotel Fee: Every student is getting a $55.00 allowance towards your hotel room.  If you have 4 students in a room, then the entire room cost is paid for.  If you only want 3 in your room, or if you have a non-student, then you need to come up with the difference.

Food:  The hotel supplies a nice continental breakfast, so the meals you will need to pay for include:  Saturday Lunch (at the tournament), Saturday Dinner (At Culver’s), Sunday Lunch.  For a normal eater, figure $35 – $40 each.  We will be stopping for lunch on the way there, so you can either purchase lunch or pack a bag lunch to eat on the way (these general guidelines can change depending on your driver’s decision).  I will be supplying Pizza for the AFTER BLACK BELT CEREMONY mini party we’ll have at the hotel Friday night.

 Gas:  Gas costs are negotiable based on the driver.

ALL Competitors: Full uniform required (pants, top, belt)

MISC.
Bring a bag lunch for Friday.  We always stop, but bringing a bag lunch saves on cost.
Plan on having a good time and being an example as my students, students of Junior Grand Master Good,
Grand Master Tae Zee Park and representatives of Journey Christian Church.  Inappropriate behavior, speech, actions or disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated.

Bring whatever electronics you want.  It’s a 10-hour ride one way (at least), so bring whatever you need to pass the time.  Nintendo game systems, iPod/MP3 players, cameras, phones (for texting between cars), etc.  Whatever you bring is your responsibility.  The hotel has a nice indoor pool and hot tub.  Pack accordingly.

PROMOTION:
If you are Red 2 or lower, and you participate in both events at the tournament (forms and sparring) you automatically go up in rank by 1 Gup.

THERE IS NO PLACE TO SECURE YOUR BELONGINGS AT THE TOURNAMENT.  While we will have many people there that are not participating, you cannot trust that they will be watching our stuff all the time.  If you plan on bringing electronics (cameras, etc) to the actual tournament, please make sure you have an adult hold them when you are participating in the event.
