NSW Qualification Criteria - Have I qualified for the Nationals?

In sparring competition, you must have come 1st, 2nd or 3rd (there are two 3rd place getters) at the Taekwondo NSW Selection event held on August 9.
For technical competitors, you qualified by competing at the NSW selection event.

Please note that
1) The 4 sparring qualification spots are reserved for NSW players in each division. We have interstate and international guests at our comp. If you come 5th, but an international player came 1st, you still qualify.
2) If someone above you does not want to (or cannot) compete at the nationals, their spot opens up for the next ranked competitor.
3) If your division is a merged division (because of a lack of players in your division), you qualify.
