How To Successfully Hold A Karate Tournament

By Sandra Roberts


Before one succeeds in a given activity, they must work for success. That working for success is the process that is involved in the achieving of the intended goal, and that is a success. Therefore, success is not an event but a long process that takes a very long time. In the same way, holding a karate tournament that will leave each person happy and satisfied is not easy, but it is possible. You only have to understand the critical aspects of such a process, as discussed here.

Prepare accordingly by having people who have the interests of such a game at heart. When such people become leaders and are directing key activities like championships, it will be easy to achieve the success you want. However, when wrong individuals take the torch of leadership, they will only light under their feet, leaving the rest of the people in darkness. Therefore, the first thing is to entrust the right individuals with the mandate of leading the rest.

When it comes to putting together the teams, commonly known as pooling, there must be complete fairness. A particular team or play should not be given an undue advantage over the rest. To avoid such a scenario, all persons of interest must never take part in that process. If someone who is directly linked to a given team or player is part of the pooling team, make sure you agree on ground rules to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

When it comes to the particular teams and players, there must be a consensus on what is acceptable and what will not be acceptable. Punishments must be agreed upon by all the key stakeholders, and a tribunal can also be constituted based on agreed factors. These regulations must also be respected by all the teams and their trainers.

The moderation of a game is very important. Here, you are in the actual activity, and any mistake can bring a lot of conflicts. There are rules about the selection of referees and who becomes a referee. Use professionals who have both the name and the image in their areas of the profession. If you want to avoid the pull and push that is sometimes characteristic of some championships, let referees be professional people with no interest in the game at hand.

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.

Do not live in denial but accept the fact that winners will need to be motivated. Come up with a given scheme of recognizing the efforts of the teams, players, the trainers, and other key participants. It is a human need to be appreciated for whatever good that one does and therefore make sure you reward all the deserving teams fairly and accordingly.

To sum it up, learn from those who have made it in the past. Besides, bring on board individuals who will help you achieve your goal and not those who will want to pull you down. Success in any field is a collective responsibility, and each person must play their role with diligence to bring about this success.
