DIVISIONAL REQUIREMENTS
______ A. Required NBL Divisions - Regional NBL Promoters must offer all 65 or all 120 of the following standard NBL divisions and list them in their tournament brochure with
no additions or deletions with the following exception A.1. (See below) ($100).
1. Adding to 65 Divisional Template - In the tournament brochure (not at the tournament) a Regional Conference Promoter, using the 65 NBL divisional template as
a base, may split any division that has a multi-number (N-#s). However, all of the divisions and numbers contained within the combined group division must be
offered, even if some remain grouped together. No division can be broken down further than is already done so in the 120 divisional breakdown.
Example (allowed) - N-5/6/7/13 could be split into the following:
Example (not allowed) N-5/6/7/13 could not be split into the following
N-5 ( ) 11Hard Musical

N-7 ( ) 15-17

(This is not allowed because junior girls’ musical forms would then be divided into three
divisions instead of one (N-13) as in the 120 divisions)
If the example above were employed, then the divisional title in the Promoter’s brochure would have to be changed to read “67 NBL DIVISIONS” as two divisions
were added. (Be certain to change all m/f properly if applicable).
______ B. No Spliting Divisions After Brochure Printed - Once the tournament brochure is printed, no NBL divisions can be added or split at the tournament from those listed
in the brochure. ($50).
______ C. Optional Non-NBL Divisions - NBL Promoters can have other non-NBL divisions in addition to the required NBL divisions. Non-NBL divisions can be under blackbelt
and/or blackbelt divisions and can be the same as, or different than, any NBL division(s), but these divisions can not be used by players to receive NBL points and can
not be listed mixed wth the NBL divisions. Remember that non NBL divisions labeled “contemporary” and “open” must allow music. Musical divisions must be labeled
as open or choreographed. If music in not allowed then the division must be labeled as such.

requirement and this fine will be levied in accordance to APPENDIX J of the most current SKITA Handbook unless an exception was granted by the NBL to omit that

be received by the NBL offices within thirty (30) days. If payment is not received the NBL offices will send a UPS COD envelope for the amount of the payment plus

PROCESSING STAFF REQUIRED
______ A. Head Scorekeeper - The tournament must have a person in attendance at all times whose only job is to be tournament Head Scorekeeper to train and to monitor all
the Ring Scorekeepers ($25).
______ B. NBL Commissioner - The Commissioner that is appointed to the Promoter’s conference must be used for collecting the NBL player cards ($100). He/she is
experienced and will be in attendance to help the Promoter. The Promoter should understand that this person is actually being hired by him/herself and is to act in
good faith to help the tournament. The Promoter must accommodate the Commissioner with a minimum of a six (6) foot by thirty (30) inch table size, and chairs near
the Announcing station (head table) and to provide a runner person to deliver all of the player cards, divisional results and finals results to the table as they are
completed during the tournament. All cards and results must be given to the Commissioner BEFORE he/she leaves ($50).The Commissioner’s responsibilities to the
NBL Promoter and the NBL are as follows:
1. Process Results - To process (collect, tabulate, format) the tournament’s results by collecting all NBL player cards, and to give the Promoter the cover (white) cards
which lists the 1st to 8th place winners. (The Commissioner must also be given by the Promoter any remaining, unused player cards so that they will have them
on hand to supplement any upcoming Conference tournament in case they run out of them).
2. Magazine Result Forms - To fill out the “Magazine Result Form” with all the “N” division first place winners and send to NBL.
3. Assist Scorekeeping - To assist in the scorekeeping process by demonstrating how to use the player cards properly (APPENDIX K of the most current SKITA

using the Conference appointed Commissioner he/she agrees to pay a fine of up to $500 if a correctly filled in magazine result form is not received by the NBL offices
TOURNAMENT PROMOTER SIGNATURE ____________________________________________________ DATE ___/ ___/ ___

within 24 hours of the tournament and if cards are not received by the NBL offices in correct order and within seven (7) days of the tournament.
______ D. No Commissioner Appointed - If the Promoter’s conference doesn’t have a Commissioner or have someone temporarily appointed, then it will be the Promoter’s
responsibility to appoint someone to perform the Commissioner’s job. Payment to the acting commissioner is then optional. It then becomes the Promoter’s

than seven (7) days after the tournament ($50).

regional conference that they are a Promoter, Arbitrator or Commissioner of ($25). (Selected Conference tournament Promoters will be granted an exception
because of the travel distance to other conferences). They can compete in other Conferences, but should carefully evaluate refereeing during the eliminations. It’s
best if they help locate and train others to be efficient referees at other NBL tournaments rather than referee themselves. An NBL Regional Conference Promoter
can compete in a National Conference tournament (unless it’s their own) that is part of his/her Regional Conference if that Promoter is regularly following and
competing in the National Conference that the tournament is part of. An NBL National Conference Promoter cannot compete and/or referee in any national
tournament that is in the same National Conference as their own tournament.
______
2. No Coaching - An NBL National Conference Promoter is not permitted to coach at any NBL National Conference tournament or the Super Grands excepting the

student moved away ($50).
______ B. NBL Rules Arbitrator - The Rules Arbitrator that is appointed to the Promoter’s conference and/or any specially designated Arbitrator by the NBL executive offices, must
be used to arbitrate any rule violations and make all final rule violation penalty decisions at the tournament for all divisions ($100). According to the SKITA rules, the
Arbitrator can and must charge a minimum fee of $10 from any person (there must be an adult representative if under 18 years old) that asks for an arbitration and will
receive the money back if they win the arbitration.
______
1. No Arbitrator Appointed - If the Promoter’s conference doesn’t have an Arbitrator, then it will be the Promoter’s responsibility to appoint someone to perform the
Arbitrator’s job. Payment to the substitute is then optional. It is the Promoter’s responsibility to see that the Arbitrator’s responsibilities are carried out properly and
that the appointed person follows the SKITA rules ($50).
______
2. Promoter Can’t Influence Arbitration - The Promoter must not interfere with, influence, or make any decisions regarding SKITA rules or rules arbitration ($50).
IV.

NBL/SKIL products including tournament supplies, league apparel (T-shirts/jackets), SKITA videos and officially licensed league products. The Salesman will not sell
general martial arts supplies such as safety equipment, mouth pieces and uniforms unless the Salesman contracts with the tournament Promoter under a separate
agreement. The Promoter need not provide this space unless he/she is informed at least two week in advance of the tournament by the NBL offices or by the NBL
Salesman.
______ B. Photo-journalist - The tournament must give any regional Conference Photo-journalist or any Sport Karate Magazine representative complimentary spectator
entrance and admittance to the ring borders and access to the Scorekeepers. The Promoter should work with them, as they are there to help with media coverage of
the tournament. Some conferences do not have a Regional Conference Photo-journalist. Any SKITA, NBL or Sport Karate Magazine media delegates have the right
to take video and/or still shot photographs of the tournament and of the players and the NBL may use same for any profit making, advertising or promotional purposes without financial or other compensation to the tournament Promoter, their staff, sponsors, the players or anyone else that is involved with the tournament ($25).
V.

processing with the tournament Head Scorekeeper.
VI.
RULES / REFEREES CLINIC
______ A. Meeting at Tournament - The tournament must use their NBL Regional Conference Rules Arbitrator to conduct a rules meeting before the start of each days
competition for a duration of not less than one (1) hour and must provide a private room in which to hold said meeting before the start of each day’s competition ($25).
All Ring Coordinators and the Chief Referee must be in attendance to confirm the Referees for each ring and to take them directly to their rings upon conclusion of

starting time of the tournament or upon their arrival, whichever is first ($50 each violation). Upon the decision of the NBL, flight transportation provided by the Promoter
may be required in some Conferences for the Commissioner and the Arbitrator. (If the Conference does not have an Arbitrator and/or Commissioner and are not
assigned any temporaries by the NBL, then the Promoter need not pay these expenses, but must provide people for these services for their tournament and to the
NBL on their own as stated previously in this agreement and be responsible for those people’s actions and decisions).

Super Grands (Ring number signs and tournament signs can be purchased from SKITA) ($25).

NBL Tourn Pro 2011 - Add A 6/2/10
ADDENDUM - A
2011 NBL SANCTIONING RATES
All US promoter sanction fees, tournament magazines and Promoter box fees (and Finals Books and electronic scoreboard rentals for National/International Conference sanctions)
must be paid by UPS COD or credit card (if acceptable) for the total amount of the fee upon mutual agreement of an NBL sanction. The COD will be sent in the form of a package that
includes their NBL Tournament Workbook (new promoters) or any updated pages and be delivered by the United Parcel System (UPS) or equivalent. These sanction fees must be paid,
and Promoters Agreement signed, before the sanction is considered confirmed and before any advertising or tournament listings can be placed in any magazine as a sanctioned event.
Countries outside the US must pay their fees directly to the NBL offices before the sanction is confirmed and before any advertising or tournament listings can be placed in any magazine as a sanctioned event. Payments and/or hotel accommodations for the Commissioner, Arbitrator and Photo-journalist must be confirmed with each representative by the Promoter
before the tournament. Arrangements for any Photo-journalist to perform coverage for the NBL/SKIL website for all National and International Conference tournaments as-well-as
Commissioners, Arbitrators and Photo-journalists for all North American Regional Conference tournaments that are outside of the USA and Canada, must be made through the NBL
offices (716) 763-1111. All payments must be in US funds. Canadian payments will be acceptable in Canadian funds at our U.S. applicable exchange rates. All National and International
Conference tournaments are dual sanctioned as Regional Conference tournaments, but pay only one Conference sanction fee based upon their sanction point value.

It is the Promoter’s responsability to gather this material together for the Photo-journalists, not the Commissioner or Photo-journalist’s responsibility unless they

will be shipped via UPS in the Promoter’s equipment package or hand delivered to them at the Super Grands ($25).
___
I.
H. Scoreboard - The Promoter can rent from the NBL, as part of their sanction, an electronic scoreboard for use in their finals. The rental fee & deposit will be
added to the Promoters COD sanction fee if the Promoter wants the scoreboard. The scoreboard must be shipped back to the NBL, or to another NBL Promoter
of the NBL’s choice, within seven (7) days after the last day of their tournament ($10 per day late fee taken from the deposit). The Promoter will pay for this
return shipping and any non-shipping damages will be deducted from the deposit. The scoreboard MUST be insured for a minimum of $900 on this return
shipping. The deposit will be returned to the Promoter at the end of the season at the Super Grands or applied to the following year’s sanction rental,
whichever comes first. Damages or losses of the scoreboard, box or accessories will be deducted from the deposit without rebuttal from the Promoter. It is the
entire responsibility of the Promoter to contact the NBL offices (Boice Lydell), exactly within 2 to 3 weeks prior to their tournament to schedule the shipping.
Promoters that neglect to contact the NBL will not be guaranteed the arrival of the scoreboard on time, but still forfeit their rental fee if not received in time.
Promoters not agreeing to rent the scoreboard at the time of their sanctioning and decide they want to rent later will pay $150 for rental plus the $100 deposit.
If the Promoter or their Conference owns a regulation scoreboard that was purchased from the NBL, then the Promoter is not required to rent a scoreboard.

NBL Tourn Pro - Contracts 3/30/06
NEGOTIATING YOUR FACILITY
First and foremost - GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING. Just because they promised you something verbally does
not mean you’ll get it. Unless it’s in writing it virtually doesn’t exist.
1. Negotiating - You should always try negotiating for what you want. You’ll always get something more than if
you don’t try.
2. Deciding your Facility - As a NBL regional conference tournament promoter you don’t need impressive
convention centers or hotels. Use a nice high school or college. An impressive tournament does not equate to
an impressive facility. An impressive tournament equates to an impressive run tournament which equates to a
quality staff and tournament preparation long before the event takes place, not the money you spend.
3. Lodging for Staff - When you make an agreement for rooms at your tournament hotel/motel ask them to give
you a couple of free rooms for staff and a free night for every 25-30 rooms that your group picks-up.

NBL Tourn Pro - Creat Brochure 5/14/10
CREATING YOUR TOURNAMENT BROCHURE
Tournament Brochure - One of the first things you must accomplish is the printing of your brochure. It’s hard to
ask people to support you without information for them to refer to. A brochure properly put together and in circulation up to a year in advance, can easily double your tournament attendance.
As an NBL tournament you must follow the NBL template for putting your brochure together. With all NBL tournaments using the same brochure format, players have gotten familiar to the layout and find it easier to understand
the schedules and to register making it more enjoyable to follow our league.
All the original material you need from the NBL for your brochure is in this workbook section. Just follow the 8 or
16 page template. Use the 16 page if you want your cards printed in your brochure for easy pre-registration.
Upon completion of a properly executed 16 page brochure your tournament set-up planning is virtually completed
as you know your schedules, your ring assignments, divisions, awards, etc.
Finally, set a goal to have your brochure out a year in advance and definitely before the SG. You will be glad you
did. Read the “Conference Team” section of this workbook.
1. Ring Assignments - Figuring-out ring assignments and printing them in your brochure is an important factor
in advancing the professionalism of your tournament. It is however, very difficult and challenging. Without
going into detail in this years workbook please consider the following points:
a. Keep musical rings as far from each other as possible.
b. Soft style need to be where they have access to use a second ring
c. For blackbelts try not to put all the players from one age groups for forms in the same ring because the
same players may win all the same divisions with the same judges even if the divisions are for completely
different types of forms competition. Even if the judges are being fair, when the same person wins, the
perception by the parents is that it wasn’t fair. For blackbelts have one ring for Japanese forms (and
traditional weapons) one for Korean (and Kenpo & Soft) and one or two rings for contemporary
(forms/weapons/musical and creative). Start different age groups in each ring so that you can avoid the
same age being up at the same time in two rings as much as possible.
d. Unlike blackbelt rings, the same age groups for UBB forms and sparring (and weapons to some degree)
should be run in one ring. This way all the members of the same age group will be ready to spar at the same
time as their same forms divisions will have already ended previously in their ring.
e. If you’re going to have both creative and traditional forms for UBB (a good idea - it makes more money)
then consider running one of them on the night before as running them the same day can really make UBB
efficiency difficult.

If you call the NBL office in advance we will send and email you a copy of the SKITA Rules at a Glance with your
seven (7) options circled and the others crossed off or you can do that yourself with the master copy supplied in this
section.
2. Entry Fees - Charge what your event is worth. Don’t try to underprice your competitor. Fees don’t generally
persuade or dissuades people from attending. Make your event worth whatever you want to eventually charge.
3. Awards - If you’re running your event as an NBL for the first time, the sixty five (65) required divisions may
frighten you. They shouldn’t. First of all, 21 of the 65 divisions allow under blackbelts, so no attendance is
limited there. Second, very few tournaments offer continuous sparring, team sparring, team forms, self defense
or breaking. In that case, offering those divisions is an advantage to gain attendance from players that want
to try them as long as they don’t cost you too much to offer them. So because they are generally not offered
you need not give large awards for those divisions. Save your large awards for where they are expected; forms,
weapons and sparring; especially UBB not BB. For these new NBL divisions, give simple wall plaques or
medals (maybe $1-$3 each at best).
4. Brochure Printing - The basics are most important. A brochure nicely formatted and easy to read is the most
important, not whether it’s in full color or uses glossy paper. Double check everything in your brochure
before printing. Check the rates offered the Post Journal where the NBL office does all its printing (see
their printing forms in this brochure section).
So to recap - Don’t over spend on unnecessary awards and definitely don’t over spend on your
facility or fancy brochure papers. Do spend money on your staff, effective equipment and awards for basic UBB
divisions.

the National Blackbelt League (NBL).
The NBL has asked us to contact you in regard to soliciting you as a possible customer to print your NBL tournament brochure. The NBL is encouraging promoters to take a look at the advantages of a newsprint booklet brochure
as a means of competitor convenience, league unity, added page space and professional look to your tournament, all
at a reduced cost of printing.
We have struck a deal with the NBL to offer the lowest price because of the quantity we are able to produce for the
league as a whole. Because of our familiarity with martial arts printing, we can offer more unity in the production of
NBL literature as a whole and can offer to print the official player cards right in the middle of your brochure as is done
with the Super Grands brochure. This is a tremendous time saver for you and your pre-registrants.
As you’re aware, the NBL offers to send free copies of your tournament brochure in all the boxes and envelopes
they send out on a daily basis from their main office up until the date of your tournament. Providing that we do your
printing, we will offer free delivery of whatever quantity of your brochures you want the NBL offices to receive for
mailing and to do it much quicker than the standard means that you now use to get your brochures to the NBL offices.
Take a look at some of these advantages
1.
2.
3.
4.
Twice or 4 times as many pages for about the same cost as regular printing.
Quick turn around time.
Inexpensive colors.
Player Cards for pre-registration can be printed in the middle of your brochure like the
Super Grands brochure or SKITA does.
5. Free delivery to NBL offices for their free distribution for you.
6. NBL Unity in printing
7. NO Sales Tax for out of New York state customers
We can also do your labeling for you at unbelievable rates. Just ask the NBL to supply us with the labels
BEFORE the labels are printed for you and sent to you. The cost for labeling is $35 per 1,000 brochures. We will
simply ship them to you in the zip coded order that NBL gives us the labels in.
Please compare our prices with what you’re already paying and start enjoying an 8 or 16 page brochure for the
price of a typical 4 page flier. Enclosed is the “E-Z Newsprint Booklet Order Form” that simplifies your ordering
procedure.
If I can answer any questions please don’t hesitate to call me or the NBL office. I can be reached at the Post
Journal at 716-487-1111 x 262 or on my celular work phone at 716-450-0671.

Cover option - The front and back cover can be glossy stock paper added to this 16 page booket. Glossy stock (like most magazine covers) would probably be printed by a different company
then the newsprint booklet. This would add two pages to the front and two pages to the back of your brochure. Thus the page numbers will total 20 and each page number listed above would
actually be two numbers ahead of what is listed (i.e., page 7 would be page 9, etc).

TOURNAMENT DIVISIONS
All NBL Divisions Are Open To Anyone
Anyone may compete in NBL divisions, however a blackbelt must be worn during competition. [Exceptions: 1). Team forms need only have one blackbelt per
entry and the rest can be any rank, 2). Self-defense players can be any rank, 3). Breaking players can be any rank, 4). Junior point sparring players can be any rank,
but non blackbelts must not wear a belt. 5). Junior continuous players can be any rank, but non blackbelts must not wear a belt, 6). Junior team sparring
players can be any rank, but non blackbelts must not wear a belt, 7). A junior player that has reached the highest rank before reaching blackbelt and is not permitted to
obtain a blackbelt as a youth in his school.]
NBL divisions are intended for players with tournament experience and “blackbelt” or highest level skills. Make your choice to compete in NBL divisions accordingly and
at your own risk.
SKIL members are allowed to use wins in NBL divisions toward their SKIL blackbelt point totals on their SKIL point charts.
All blackbelt and under blackbelt players entering NBL divisions must enter based upon the age they were on January 1 at 12 a.m. excepting that players who will be
turning 18, 35 or 45 during the year are allowed to move up and compete in those divisions at any time during the year or may compete at the same age that they
were on the first day of the year for the entire season (see Rules at a Glance in brochure under FORMS 6 or SKITA rulebook V.B.4.).
NBL player rankings are free. Check our website nblskil.com starting June 1 to see your free rankings based upon your wins in these divisions at this tournament.

No NBL divisions will be added or split at the tournament.
Note to NBL Regional Conference Promoters: All of the above is required to be printed in ALL NBL Regional Conference promoter’s tournament
brochures for the year 2011. Must be on page 4 in eight page brochures or page 14 in sixteen page brochures.
Either the 120 division or 65 division template must be used by NBL Regional Conference Promoters and may be re-typeset or copied as is by the
Promoter for their brochure, but if it is re-typeset it must duplicate ALL of the material above with no additions or deletions (excepting a tournament name
heading and divisional awards and changes according to “Adding to the 65 NBL divisions” - see below) and the divisions must be listed in the exact same
order with the exact same numbering system - NO CHANGES. However it is the NBL Promoter’s option to put Friday (F), Saturday (Sa) or Sunday (Su)
into each parentheses ( ) after the division number to inform the players what day each division is being run-off, or to put the ring number that each
division will be held in, or a combination of both [i.e., (Su-6) meaning Sunday ring 6].
Adding to 65 Divisional Template - In the tournament brochure (not at the tournament) a regional conference promoter, using the 65 NBL divisional template as a base, may split any division that has a multi-number (N-#s). However, all of the divisions and numbers contained within the combined group division must be offered even if some remain grouped together. No division can be broken down further than the 120 maximum divisionals.
Example (allowed) - N-5/6/7/13 could be split into the following:
Example (not allowed) N-5/6/7/13 could not be split into the following:

(This is not allowed because junior girls’ musical forms would then be divided into
three divisions instead of one (N-13) as in the 120 divisions)
If the example above were employed, then the page title in the Promoter’s brochure would then have to be changed to read “67 NBL DIVISIONS” (instead of
65) as two divisions were added. (Be certain to change all m/f properly if applicable).
NON-NBL DIVISIONS
Non-NBL divisions must be on page 4 in an eight page tournament brochure or page 13
in a sixteen page brochure. Non-NBL divisions can be both under blackbelt and/or nonNBL blackbelt divisions.
All non-NBL divisions must be numbered and be preceeded with (A-) in the same manner
as (N-) in the NBL divisions above. Use one continuous numbering system as with NBL
divisions.
This underblackbelt divisional placement chart must be printed with the
list of non-NBL divisions on same page.

If you are going to offer under blackbelt traditional forms divisions and enforce general
forms criteria, not Specific forms criteria for them, then you should quote “Under
blackbelt traditional forms must display only traditional techniques that are inherent to
the forms of the style being presented by the player as outlined in this brochure in the
“Rules at a Glance Forms - 9-b and in the SKITA Rulebook under General Forms
Criteria V.E. 2b. Please enter in open/creative forms divisions if you’re not willing to
adhere to the required criteria”
Use any remaining space for description of awards given, prize money breakdowns, photos, conference schedules, sponsors, advertisers, seminars, etc.

TOURNAMENT DIVISIONS
All NBL Divisions Are Open To Anyone
Anyone may compete in NBL divisions, however a blackbelt must be worn during competition. [Exceptions: 1). Team forms need only have one blackbelt per
entry and the rest can be any rank, 2). Self-defense players can be any rank, 3). Breaking players can be any rank, 4). Junior point sparring players can be any rank,
but non blackbelts must not wear a belt. 5). Junior continuous players can be any rank, but non blackbelts must not wear a belt, 6). Junior team sparring
players can be any rank, but non blackbelts must not wear a belt, 7). A junior player that has reached the highest rank before reaching blackbelt and is not permitted to
obtain a blackbelt as a youth in his school.]
NBL divisions are intended for players with tournament experience and “blackbelt” or highest level skills. Make your choice to compete in NBL divisions accordingly and
at your own risk.
SKIL members are allowed to use wins in NBL divisions toward their SKIL blackbelt point totals on their SKIL point charts.
All blackbelt and under blackbelt players entering NBL divisions must enter based upon the age they were on January 1 at 12 a.m. excepting that players who will be
turning 18, 35 or 45 during the year are allowed to move up and compete in those divisions at any time during the year or may compete at the same age that they
were on the first day of the year for the entire season (see Rules at a Glance in brochure under FORMS 6 or SKITA rulebook V.B.4.).
NBL player rankings are free. Check our website nblskil.com starting June 1 to see your free rankings based upon your wins in these divisions at this tournament.

forms must display only traditional techniques that are inherent to the forms of the style being
presented by the player as outlined in this brochure in the “Rules at a Glance Forms - 9-b and
in the SKITA Rulebook under General Forms Criteria V.E. 2b. Please enter in open/creative
forms divisions if you’re not willing to adhere to the required criteria”
This underblackbelt divisional placement chart must be printed with the list of

4) One of the following kicks; a jumping front thrust, flying side, split, tornado, whip, two or more kicks while airborne, gyroscope or capoeira.
b) Player must compete in the proper style division for the form they are performing. The performance must display only traditional techniques that are
inherent to forms of the style being represented by the player. All other general specifications apply.
10. MUSIC - Choreographed musical forms divisions cannot use background music w/o choreography. Occasional sound effects can be added but any
player’s attempted choreography to sound effects CANNOT be considered by the Judges as part of their choreography requirement. The form must
follow the rhythm (various beats) of the music.
Options for blackbelt divisions:
a) Judges will award one of the following musical choreography scores:
1) 2 points = Sufficient choreography to music where an obvious attempt was made by the player to choreograph the majority of the form.
2) 1 point = Attempted choreography of the form where only a few techniques are choreographed. For example the beginning and/or ending of the form.
3) 0 points = Basically not choreographed. A few techniques may hit beats on purpose or accidentally.
A total of 7-10 points means a player’s overall score remains the same.
A total of 4-6 points means a player’s overall score will have 0.05 point deducted by the Scorekeeper.
A total of 0-3 points means a player is disqualified by the Scorekeeper.
b) Judges will not award a separate musical choreography score.
11. SEQUENCE - Luck of the Draw must be done at ringside with no more than one division staged ahead of time and the shuffled and draw must be done
in front of all players (coaches) of that division that are available at that time. First card picked is first up.
SEQUENCE - Players will be seeded according to their rankings.
12. AVAILABILITY - When the division has been declared closed and/or the charting has started, no late entries are accepted.
13. TIME LIMIT - Up to three (3) minutes is allowed from the time the player enters the ring or when the player’s music is started, whichever is first.
14. RESTARTS - No penalties or deductions for the first restart per person, per division, for any blackbelt or underbelt. However, no restarts allowed in
blackbelt traditional forms divisions. No second restarts are allowed at all.
15. MUSIC PLAYER - Unless provided by the Promoter, the Player must provide their own music player and someone to run it.
16. SCORING RANGE - Blackbelts will be scored 9.90-10.00 and underbelts 9.80-9.90. The first three compete before any scores are given. With only one
or two players the winner is chosen by Judges show of hands. (Except at SG/AM where scores will be given).
Special Option (Not SG/AM): Before the division begins the Center Referee can declare use of an option requiring that all the Judges must give one
of the first three players a score of 9.96 (UBB 9.86), another one of the first three players a score higher than 9.96 (UBB 9.86) and the other a score
less than 9.96 (UBB 9.86). The exception will occur if 2 or more of the first 3 players are DQed or make an obvious error that would otherwise lower
their score and make this system ineffective.
17. TIES - Ties between two or more players in the top four (4) places and for eighth place will be broken by the Scorekeeper tallying up which player(s)
had the most Judges votes. If any Judge(s) tied players (gave the same score) then each player gets a vote. If after the tally any players are still tied
with the most overall votes then they must run their forms again by luck of the draw, with a show of hands to determine a winner. A second show of
hands may be required for three or more tied players to break their tie.
18. GRANDCHAMPIONSHIPS - All scores must be 9.95 - 10.00. Ties will be broken same as eliminations. Player performance must
comply with the division that was won (i.e., - music cannot be added to a creative form). There will be a fine of $25 levied against any player who is
scheduled and desires to compete in the finals, but that fails to report to the Statisticians table before the eliminations end that day. All divisions or grand
championships where prize money is advertized require that a player must be willing to compete to win any money. While players can agree in advance
to split any prize money amongst themselves, the money will not be awarded to a player if the Arbitrator feels that the player(s) appear to have predetermined a winner in advance. The only exception is if either the medical personnel or Center Referee grant a medical exception not to compete
based upon a legitimate medical concern.

NBL Tourn Pro - Pre Reg Reason 3/31/06
REASON FOR PRE-REGISTRATION
Although pre-registration is not required for NBL tournaments it is a must for those that want their tournament to
obtain it’s maximum efficiently level and reap more of a financial gain. However to effectively utilize pre-registration
at an NBL tournament you should print the NBL player cards in your brochure. If not, the players will have to spend
time filling out their cards at the tournament and the registration staff will spend time having to proof them thus defeating the efficiency effect of doing pre-registration to begin with.
Listed below are some of the advantages of pre-registration:
1. Less Time Spent in Registration - Players will be spending time at home filling out registration material
instead of lengthening time of registration at the tournament. Likewise, instead of having registration staff proof
all the player material at the tournament, you can have all the pre-registration material done prior to the
tournament date.
2. Less chance for Error - Registration done at home or your school in a relaxed atmosphere is less likely to have
errors overlooked than having busy registration staff, many of which are new or inexperienced, that are under
pressure at the event.
3. Security of Money - Payments sent directly to you are much more secure than money, usually cash, that is
collected by multiple registration staff at the tournament. Plus, after it’s collected it has to be secured
throughout the tournament and the travel to your home or school.
4. Increased Attendance - If on Friday or Saturday morning a player doesn’t feel like attending then you are
loosing their income, but if they have already pre-registered they are unlikely not to attend. When someone has
pre-registered they have virtually made a commitment. If they haven’t pre-registered they are not committed
until the money changes hand at the tournament. Players are less likely to change their mind about attending if
they have pre-registered and even if they do, you’ve already been paid. And of course the incentive is that they
want to pre-register to begin with because you give them a pre-registration discount and because they won’t
have to spend as much time going through the registration lines.

NBL Tourn Pro - Pre Reg Process 3/31/06
PROCESSING PRE-REGISTRATION
Begin with some simple advice. DO NOT fill in any missing material on the pre-registration players’ cards or forms.
1. They need to learn how to do it by themselves
2. It takes your pre-registration staff to long
3. If you make any mistakes on their cards, then it’s your fault not theirs and believe me, IT WILL HAPPEN &
THEY WILL COMPLAIN, and then you’re obliged to give a refund.
Important Note: If you allow pre-registration without supplying cards in your brochure then you must supply them
with cards and a place to fill them out at an information booth that the player MUST be forced to pass-by before getting to the registration tables at your tournament. (See Registration Process)
All the paper clipped or enveloped material pertaining to a pre-registered player that is sent-in, we are going to refer
to as the “package”.
When processing each pre-registration you must have a method of noting missing information or material (again don’t you supply information that they need to fill in). You can write down their missing material on post-it notes and
attach to their package or you can use the form we’ve supplied (Registration Verification Form) that has a checklist
of what’s missing and then you keep that form with their package.
Each package should include:
• Registration Verification Form (or attached post-it notes)
• Their Registration Form
• Their player cards - (Note - if their cards are fully completed and you are using a tournament system of
collecting their cards at registration and bringing them by your staff to the rings in envelopes, then those
completed cards can already be put into the ring envelopes. However any cards that are missing material or
need a weight stamp must be held with their package.)
• Wristbands
REGISTRATION VERIFICATION FORM
You can retype this form to better suit your event. Use this to process each pre-registration you receive.
1. Fill in player’s name at top
2. Fill in processor’s initials and date of execution
3. Check (√) in red per each item that is completed. Any item that is not complete do not check, but you must write
an explanation on the blank line after the item that has the problem or at least put an (X) there, so that the
registration staff at the tournament knows what to process that is missing
4. Division Numbers - Don’t fill them in if any are missing. Make the player do it
5. Weigh-in must be done at the tournament for:
a. All adult point sparring divisions
b. All junior and adult continuous sparring divisions
c. All adult team members
d. All adult under blackbelt sparring with weight classes
If the player’s sparring divisions don’t require weigh-in, then check (√) it off on the Registration Verification Form.
PLAYER CARDS
Player cards MUST have the following filled in:
Front of Card:
1. Division Checked-off
2. Their Division Number
3. Their name legibly spelled out
4. Their state (2 letters) and country (3 letters) filled in
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
Their age (as of January 1 of the tournament year)
Their rank
Their sex
Their weight
Their school and instructor
Their team and coach (if any)
Back of Card
1. Their first card with their lowest division number must be entirely filled out on the back. If they are doing
both an NBL and non-NBL or UBB division than they must fill out one card for their NBL division and
one card for their non-NBL division.
2. The backside of additional cards must have their name spelled out legibly at the top and waiver must be
signed at the bottom. In big letters they must write the division number of the card that has all the
information filled in on it over the top of the rest of the boxes on the back of the card that they are not
filling in.
If the player has paid the correct amount for registration of the division that the card is for, then you can stamp it
paid with your special stamp.
WRISTBANDS
We suggest using white wristbands for spectators (which you can attach to the package of the player that submitted
them). Stamp the wristbands with your paid stamp.
We suggest using red wristbands for players. Stamp with your paid stamp and write each division number that the
player is entering on the wristband.
FILING THE PLAYER PACKAGES
You want to file your player packages alphabetically by last name. Put team entries (cards & wristbands) with the
package of the person that sent in the team registration (Note that all team members must be present to finalize team
registration as they must each be given their wristband and for men’s team they must be weighed so that the cards can
be put in order and stapled by their weight. Staple junior team cards by age)
You can keep player packages together with paper clips (use large size serrated edge clips) or put each in a cheap
file folder or envelope. Use a set of alphabetically tabbed dividers to separate player packages by the first letter of last
name.

NBL Tourn Pro - Pre Reg Tourn 3/31/06
REGISTRATION AT TOURNAMENT
There are three important NBL aspects that must be processed before a player completes the registration process.
1. Card Completion - The cards must be filled out properly - (see “Processing Pre-registration”).
2. Weigh-in - All players whose divisions have weight classes must weight-in (see “Processing Pre-registration”)
3. Wristband - Don’t give the players their wristband. Put all wristband snugly on the person’s wrist (or onto
their video camera if applicable for video passes).
Registration Set-up
We strongly advise a dual system of registration where the players are routed to an information booth before being
allowed access to the registration booth. This cuts down on players/spectators having to stand in line to process easy
material and cuts down on players having to go back and fill out missing material and wait in line a second time.
1. Information Booth - The object of the information booth is to make sure all players have their material ready
for the registration staff and to process simple things such as spectator fee collection.
a. The info person asks the player: “Are you pre-registered?”
• “Yes” Answer - Then the info person asks if they filled in their cards when mailing in pre-registration.
If the player answers “yes” then the info person tells them to proceed to the registration booth. If the
player answers “no” do the same as below.
• “No” Answer - Then the info person ask how many forms/weapons divisions they are entering and how
many sparring divisions they are entering and gives them the appropriate amount of yellow and grey
cards for each. If the player was not pre-registered then the info person must also give them a
registration form.
IMPORTANT - The info person now tells them they must completely fill in their cards (and registration
form if they haven’t done such) and tells them NOT to get into the registration line until their material is
complete because the registration staff will tell them to go back and fill it out and stand in line again before
they can complete the registration process.
b. If the person is just spectating (white wristband), a coach (blue wristband), or wanting a video pass
(yellow wristband), then the Info Person can process taking their money and putting a wristband on them,
so they don’t have to wait through long registration lines.
2. Registration Booth - The registration booth should be split into three registration processing units for best
efficiency with players lining up for one of the three units.
• Pre-registration A-L
• Pre-registration M-Z
• New Registration
Each unit does approximately the same job. The two pre-registration units locate the players’ packages and
process anything not checked off on their “Registration Verification” form or attached post-it notes. The new
registration unit should be processed by checking off a new “Registration Verification” form for each
registering player just as was done for pre-registration. When completed, file the players Registration Forms
(and “Registration Verification” form) alphabetically in a new alphabetized expandable file folder used
expressly for this purpose. Each unit can also process additional spectator, coach and video wristbands and
payment.
3. Weigh-in - Place the weigh-in scales at a split in the registration tables between the units for easy
accessibility. Have a separate person stationed there who’s job is only to do weigh in. For each player that
must be weighed, have this person weigh them, write their weight in the weight box and stamp the box with a
special stamp. The weigh-in person must be aware of how to prevent cheating:
a. The player should strip down to a minimum amount of clothing. Absolutely no shoes or coats and watch
b.
c.
d.
for bulging pockets for extra weight if they are trying to compete up in weight. If you question anything
then have the player prove themselves.
The player must stand straight in the middle of the scale with his hands clasp behind him or at his side (your
discretion) so that you can see them and he’s not touching anything.
Make sure their feet are flat on the scale. They can do wonders to change their weight with their toes up
against the back of the scales.
Keep all other players and parents well away from them. It is very easy to have their weight adjusted by
someone touching them.

NBL Tourn Pro - Stage Process 3/31/06
CARD STAGING PROCESS
There are two basic methods of processing player cards:
1. Cards to Players - The first is the traditional system of giving the player his cards back after being stamped
paid at registration and having the players bring their cards to their rings.
2. Registration Keeps Cards - The second more advanced system is for registration to keep the player’s cards
and file them in envelopes by division to bing to the ring. This system is done at the SG and most NBL National
Conference tournaments and is the best system, but it will backfire on you and can become an immense
problem if not processed by very capable staff.
Advantages - Advantages of keeping the cards at registration:
• The cards can’t be lost by the players
• The cards are not mutilated when they get to the rings
• Material on the cards can’t be changed by the player
• Staging of players for the divisions not yet up are easier to process because the coordinators can stage the
division even if all the players haven’t arrived yet or if they are competing in other rings.
• It is almost impossible for a player to miss his division. When staging is processed for the division, any
missing player can be announced for.
Disadvantages
• If your staff files any cards wrong it creates havoc in the two divisions affected (the division missing the card
and the division with the extra card), because if staging is already done then someone has to be added or
deleted.
For either system it is imperative that you have a file folders with sides or envelopes for each and every division.
The folder/envelope must have the division number printed on it and the ring number that it goes to. It should contain
the Result Card (white top card) and a couple of rubber bands. If the player cards are collected at registration then it
should also contain them.
CARDS GIVEN BACK TO PLAYERS
If you elect to give the cards back to the players then it is their responsibility to be at ringside when their division
comes up. In order to expedite the process it is suggested to allow the players to bring their cards to the rings that their
competition are in at anytime and have the scorekeepers put them in the corresponding envelopes. We do not suggest
announcing divisions, but rather giving the players a ring chart and posting the ring charts (large versions) at each ring
so that they are responsible for being at the ring on time. As the ring progress the Ring Coordinators should cross of
the divisions that are completed on the large ring charts that are posted at each ring.
The scorekeepers should follow Appendix K - “How to Use Player Cards at NBL Tournaments”, see staff section
of workbook.
CARDS KEPT BY REGISTRATION
If you elect to keep the player cards at registration then follow the directions below.
1. Filing Cards - Only one very detailed person should be allowed to file the cards into the divisional
folder/envelopes before the tournament and only one person (preferably the same person) must do it at the
tournament. The elimination of errors is vital. This person should double check all the folder/envelopes before
they are taken to the rings.
2. Folders to Rings - Before the tournament starting time the first two divisional folder/envelopes must be brought
to ringside and a new folder should be forthcoming to each ring every 10 minutes or so depending upon the size
of the divisions and the registration line. If the registration line is long then someone in registration should
announce the divisions currently up first and hustle those people to the head of the line. Prevent the tournament
from being delayed.
3. Staging Divisions/Cards at Ringside - Your ring coordinators should stage the first divisions for each ring
before the tournament starts and stage the second division immediately after the first division has started. They
should always have at least one division staged ahead of the one being judged.
Two errors that can happen when staging a division:
a. A Card and no Player - If this is the case then the Ring Coordinator can announce that the player’s
division is up. The coordinator can also use headsets to communicate with the other coordinators to locate
the player if they’re competing elsewhere.
b. A Player and no Card - If this is the case then one of two things has happened - either the player never
registered for that division or his card got misfiled. Check the players wristband for the division number.
If it’s on the band then probably his card was misfiled. If you are uncertain you can always go back to
registration to the alphabetical expandable file folder and look it up on his registration form. If you are sure
he belongs there don’t look for his card, just issue him a new one.

NBL Tourn Pro - Staff Sel 4/4/06
STAFF SELECTION
Tournament staff is the most important aspect to running an efficient tournament. Pre-selecting, confirming and
training the right staff is paramount for a successful and progressive event. Tournament staffing can be developed from
your karate school members and parents as well as your family and friends. However, observing staff at your other
conference events (and non NBL tournaments) and selecting some of them as well, is important for team growth in
the greater scheme of developing the league, your conference and ultimately your tournament.
1. Staff Possibilities Form - Fill these pages in with potential staff both from your immediate surroundings and
with staff you’ve seen at other tournaments that you thought did a good job. Use this form as reference when
you’re looking to fill positions each year or for back-up staff.
2. Confirmed Staff Worksheets/Staff Equipment - When someone has committed to work at your event, write
them down on the confirmed staff worksheets. Write down their commitments to you by filling in the “OK”
(date confirmed), their name, cel phone, (√) days committed or write in the times they have committed to. Then
fill in the rest of the line with your compensation and the commitments you’ve offered them; room nights, air
or travel, staff pass, parking pass, clipboard to use, headset to use, how much you are paying them or how much
they may owe you. Any paperwork, vouchers and staff badges that you are going to give your staff can be put
into individual staff envelopes for the staff member to pick-up when they arrive at your tournament and check
in at the Officials’ Booth. If they are to receive a headset or clipboard you can put a note on the outside of the
envelope for the Officials’ Booth attendee to see or include a voucher inside the envelope for the staff member
to redeem to receive them.
Be smart by offering staff in the same departments approximately the same compensation. They will all
compare notes no matter what you tell them and they will complain if it’s not equal.
3. Staff Room Reservations - Fill this form as you promise a staff member a room. This is for your own
reference and to give a copy to your lodging facility.
4. Staff Confirmation - Send each staff member that is confirmed a “Staff Confirmation Form” immediately and
keep a copy for yourself. It may seem tedious but it will avoid a lot of problems in the end.
a. It avoids misunderstanding of job commitment and compensation.
b. It confirms in your staff members mind a commitment to attend and to do what they’ve agreed to do.
Sending this form is guaranteed to improve the attendance and commitment of your confirmed staff.
5. Some Important Points
a. Scorekeeper Meetings - Train your Scorekeepers well in advance. Plan and schedule several meetings.
Use Appendix K with your Scorekeepers to train them how to use the card system.
b. Coordinators - The NBL coordinating system used by most NBL events is what separates the efficiency
of our league with others. The system of coordinating quadrants is the most effective system of
running a tournament.
With this system you have a ring coordinator for a quadrant of rings usually 2 to 4. Their job is to start those
rings and keep them running quickly, but fairly until all their assigned divisions have ended. They should
work with the Chief Referee to replace missing Judges and make sure each ring has at least one if not two
of its next divisions staged to begin immediately upon the conclusion of the prior division. They should
also work via headsets with the other Ring Coordinators to locate missing competitors and make sure they
don’t miss any of their divisions.
The Head Coordinator’s job is to work with the tournament Promoter prior to the event and to arrive early
to set-up the rings efficiently and to train and confer with the Ring Coordinators when they arrive. The
Head Coordinator’s only job during the competition should be to monitor the Ring Coordinators to make
sure al of their rings are running efficiently.
c.
d.
e.
f.
g.
Official’s Booth - It is worth every bit of your time and compensation to have a central point of
communication at your tournament called an Officials’ Booth. This is where all your staff checks-in at and
goes back to for any compensation. It is where all your supplies are kept and checked out to your set-up
crew and tournament staff. It is also where you receive all your communications from, so you should
always keep in touch with the person you have at the booth. This may be located in conjunction with your
registration tables, but must remain a separate entity with it’s own staff member(s).
Referees Room - To run an effective Referees’ Meeting you MUST have a separate room segregated from
the tournament floor. This can also be the room you prepare the staff lunches in. No one can pay attention
to learning the rules standing up in a noisy competition room where all kinds of things are going on and
where the attendees will be bothered by their students or others. No degree of concentration or
comprehension can be managed effectively with a meeting held on the competition floor.
Offer Overnight Lodging - Offering lodging to the “correct” people will absolutely increase your
attendance and efficiency of your event. Your priority should be your main staff and Center Referees that
you want to assure will be on time. Try not to give a room to anyone that isn’t giving you a return staff
commitment. Consider calling some school owners that never support you, but that support others with
students and offer them a room for the night before your main day of competition if they will in turn
referee at a ring from beginning to end. Not only should you gain a judge that will be there on time, but
they will be so surprised by your generous offer that they will probably bring some students to share their
room with. Think about it... if the room cost you $50-$100, they need to only bring one or two students to
pay for it. Chances are they may bring more and you get a dedicated Referee. Call those people far away
that you’ve always wanted to lure in and give them what they don’t expect. Offer this to the people you
don’t particularly care for as well - you might be surprised.
Award Presentation - The best way to process awards is to include vouchers in the divisional
envelopes/folders for each place that you are giving awards for. These are to be given by the Ring
Scorekeeper to the Center Referee to present to the winners at the end of each division.
Grand Championships - It is best to pre-select someone to run the required grand championships. One of
the Coordinators is ok. They should work directly with the NBL Conference Commissioner to stage the
divisional winners for the grand championships.

APPENDIX K - How to Use Player Cards 5/10/07
How to Use Player Cards at NBL Tournaments
1.
PRE-REGISTRATION - It is best to have the player cards printed in your tournament brochure and required to be filled in by the player and sent in with their preregistration. Pre-registration can be done w/o player cards being submitted by having the Promoter fill out cards, but this is not preferred as 1) It is very time
consuming for the Promoter 2) The players don’t learn how to do it properly 3) If there is an error on the card (such as wrong division number) it becomes the
Promoter’s fault instead of the player’s. Anything a pre-registered player has neglected to submit with their registration can be noted on a post-it note and attached
to the front of their cards so that the tournament registrar at pre-registration knows what is needed from the player before marking the card paid and giving to the
player. (Or omitted information by a preregistered player can be kept on a separate form (“Registration Verfication” form) attached to the players pre-registration
package noting all additional requirements needed from the player at the tournament pre-registration). Any cards being used that were printed in the tournament
brochure MUST be cut out properly on the dotted lines by the registration staff if the player didn’t do such.
2.
REGISTRATION AT DOOR - Each non pre-registered player should pick up one card for each division they are going to compete in at the door from a
receptionist or from tables. The player then proceeds (or is told by the receptionist) to fill out the top half of each card and the entire backside. It is absolutely
imperative that the player fill in everything on the front of each of their cards along with all of the information on the back of each of their cards according to the
directions on the cards. Filling out of player cards must be done by the player, NOT a registrar. Upon registering by the player, the registrar must not accept their
money or mark their card as paid unless the entire card is filled out properly. When each of the card(s) are filled out properly, then they should be stamped in the
“PAID” box to signify that they have paid. THEY MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO REGISTER OR PAY UNTIL ALL THEIR CARDS ARE PROPERLY FILLED OUT.
3.
WEIGH-IN - Divisions requiring weigh-in, must have the players weight written in and signed off by the weigh-in person for the approved weight for their division
in the “WEIGHT” box. This should be done at registration before their cards are stamped paid and before the player completes the registration process.
NOTE: It is very important that the scorekeepers be advised not to accept cards with weight divisions changed; as the player may alter his division on the card
after weigh-in. In this case the change should be verified by the Registration desk or have the player re-weighed.
4.
TEAMS - Only let teams register if they submit all three (3) team members’ cards at the same time.
Junior teams - staple all three cards together with the 9 to 11 year old card on top, then the 12 to 14 year old and the 15 to 17 year old on the bottom.
Adult teams - staple all three (3) cards together with the lightest weight player on top and heaviest weight player on the bottom.
5.
STAGING - The player brings their card to the ring for card collection. The scorekeeper will collect all the cards, OR... if registration keeps the cards they must
be filed by division into divisional envelopes and brought to the rings.
6.
FORMS a. Staging Cards - If the order is done at the ringside, the scorekeeper or staging person simply shuffles the cards and has them randomly pulled one at a time
by the Ring Coordinator or Center Referee, marking each card that is pulled out in the “SEQUENCE NUMBER” box starting with number one (1) and
continuing until all cards have been drawn and marked. This will indicate the order in which the players will compete. If the cards are kept at Registration and
filed into divisional envelopes then the order of competition can be randomly selected by an independent person such as the Conference Commissioner before
going to their rings or by Officials at ringside.
b. Scoring - Scoring is done individually on each card. Write each of the Judge’s scores in the five (5) boxes under “Round 1” on the player’s card. Cross out
(with a single line) the highest and lowest score and tally the remaining three (3) scores for the total. If any players tie for ANY 1st through 4th place, then
they must compete again. Put their second scores in in the five (5) boxes under “Tie” on their cards. If they tie a second time then the Judges shall point to
the player that they feel performed the best in the tied run-off, thus breaking the tie. Check () the Judge’s vote under “Tie-Judge’s vote” on their cards. As each
player finishes competing, the Scorekeeper or Timekeeper can keep the cards in winning order as the scores are tallied.
c. Place Taken - When finished, gather up all the cards and make sure they are in sequential winning order from 1st to last place (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) with any
no show (Put NS in PLACE TAKEN box) and disqualification (Put DQ in PLACE TAKEN box) cards placed at to the bottom. Number ALL the cards down to last
place in the “PLACE TAKEN” box, with the place they earned. Announce 1st through 8th places in REVERSE order (start with 8th place when announcing).
7.
SPARRING
a. Staging Cards - Explain to the Scorekeepers or staging people that 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 (2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2) cards (players) will, when paired up for
matches, run down to a single winner. Any other amount of cards (players) will not. A “first round bye system” must be employed for any amount of cards
(players) other than one of those amounts stated above. A “first round bye system” means that all the cards (players) exceeding one of these numbers (2, 4,
8, 16, 32 or 64) must be eliminated in the first round to leave one of those amounts (2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64) of cards (players) for the second round, so as to run
down evenly from then on.
To do this, count the number of cards in the divisional pile. Subtract a number of cards (either 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64) from this pile (subtract a number that is
closest to the amount of cards in the pile, but does not exceed it). This subtracted amount of cards (2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64) is pile B. Count the number of cards
remaining, this is pile A. Whatever the number of cards in pile A, add to this pile an equal amount of cards taken from pile B. This pile (A) will now be the “first
round” of matches. Put a rubberband around Pile B and a “sticky note” saying “Byes-2nd round” (also, write “bye” on all the B cards in the scorekeeping
section on the blank line under “Opponent’s Initials” and before the number “1”, which indicates round one). Pile B will not be used in the first round. The
Scorekeeper or staging person should sequence number Pile A (1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, etc.) which will indicate the order of matches. Number 1a will spar with
number 1b, number 2a with number 2b, etc. The staging person or Scorekeeper should avoid the sequence number pairing of players from the same school
in the first round. (Their school and instructor are on the back of the card).
Place all winners from Pile A onto Pile B (“Byes-2nd round”) and all the losers’ cards should be folded in half and put aside. The first loser’s card should be marked
with the place taken in the PLACE TAKEN box. The place taken will be the amount of cards initially (i.e., if there were 18 cards initially then the first loser gets
18th place, etc). DO NOT DISCARD THEM OR RIP UP THE LOSERS’ CARDS - THEY MUST BE PLACED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE STACK WHEN
FINISHED SO THEIR ADDRESSES CAN BE USED TO UPDATE MAILING LISTS. When the first round is completed, Pile B (“Byes-2nd round”) will now equal 2,
4, 8, 16, 32 or 64, which will now run down to one winner in the remaining rounds of competition. As each match produces a loser, mark the loser’s box with their
place taken which continues from the first card marked in descending order.
(EXAMPLE OF SYSTEM: 22 cards in a division. 16 are set aside (Pile B), leaving 6 cards (Pile A). Take 6 more from the pile of 16 (Pile B) and place with the
other 6 (Pile A) making 12 (Pile A). This is the “1st round” pile. The remaining Pile B (10 cards) is the “Byes-2nd round” pile. When pile A is run off, the first
losers card will be marked 22nd place, etc. There will be six (6) winners that will be added back to Pile B, after Pile A is run-off, leaving 16 cards that will now
run down to a single winner.)
b. Scoring - To score sparring, place the two players cards that are “up” beside each other. Whatever player is to your left, put that player’s card on the left side.
Put the initials of each player’s opponent onto each others player’s card for each match on the blank line under “Opponent’s Initials” in the scorekeeping
section of their card. Circle the numbers (points) on a player’s card as they are awarded points, as per direction of the Center Referee. Circle W for winner or
L for loser on each of their cards as they win or lose a match.
c. Final Four Cards - After each match the Scorekeeper must mark the “PLACE TAKEN” box on the loser card. - When pile (B) equals four (4) cards, the
Scorekeeper must run off the two losing players from the next two (2) matches for third and fourth places and the two winners for first and second places and
mark the “PLACE TAKEN” box with their appropriate place taken. When finished, leave all the cards in their exact order with any NS or DQ cards placed at the
bottom. Announce 1st through 8th places in REVERSE order (start with 8th place when announcing).
8.
COMPLETION OF DIVISION - When the division is finished, put the rubber band back around ALL the cards, leaving them in the winning order (1st to last place)
and place the white card on top. Fill out a white card for each division for the Promoter to keep for his records. The pile of players cards must go immediately to
the Commissioner’s table for processing.

Division ______________________________________________________________________ Division No. ___________
INSTRUCTIONS
Fill in and use this sheet for reference so as not to unjustifiably raise your score as the division progresses. Give this back to the Scorekeeper
to put back into the divisional file folder upon the completion of this division.
1. Scoring for Eliminations
a. 1 or 2 players - No scoring with only 1 or 2 players. Winner is chosen by a Judges’ show of hands. (Except at SG/AM where scores
will be given).
b. For 3 or more players - Underbelts - 9.80 to 9.90 - First 3 compete before any scores are given.
c. For 3 or more players - Blackbelts - 9.90 to 10.00 - First 3 compete before any scores are given.
Special Option:
Before the division begins the Center Referee can declare use of an option requiring that ALL the Judges must give one of the first three
players a score of 9.96 (UBB 9.86), another one of the first three players a score higher than 9.96 (UBB 9.86) and the other a score less than
9.96 (UBB 9.86). The exception will ocurr if 2 or more of the first 3 players are DQed or make an obvious error that would otherwise lower
their score and make this system ineffective.
d. Ties - Ties will be broken by a Judges show of hands. The Scorekeeper must inform each Judge as to which player they gave their
higher score to when they initially scored them and that Judge must point to that same player. If they gave each player the same score
then they must point to both. For multiple ties, a second (etc) show of hands may be required for a process of elimination. If in the end
any players are still tied then they must run their forms again with a new show of hands.
2. Scoring for Finals/Grandchampionships
a. All Scores - All scores must be 9.95 to 10.00.
b. Ties - Ties will be broken same as eliminations.
3. Musical Divisions - If required, all “choreographed musical” divisions MUST be scored using the following point scale: a) 2 points =
sufficient choreography, b) 1 point = an attempt to choreograph or c) 0 points = basically no choreography.
4. Weapons Divisions - Manipulation of the weapon must be the most important scoring factor, not kicks or gymnastics.
5. Important Notes: No penalties or deductions for the following: a) The first BB or UBB restart per player, per division, b) Players using the
same form to break ties in BB or UBB, c) Players using advanced forms in lower rank divisions.

NBL Tourn Pro - Staff Comp 4/4/06
STAFF COMPENSATION SUGGESTIONS
It is advisable not to compensate your staff by providing complimentary player entry fees. While this may seem like
a good trade off it can also lead to serious adversity.
a. It’s not a fair trade-off when some staff do more than others and they get the same player registration as
compensation.
b. If staff does the same amount of work, but one has their player do more divisions which equates to more
compensation, you’ll be sure to hear about the unfairness of this by the other staff members.
No matter how secretive you are about compensation to staff, I guarantee they will talk to each other about what
they are or are not being given, so it is best not to comp player entry fees for staff work. Have every player pay. Give
your staff “T”-Shirts, guest rooms and/or pay them.
In all cases of payment, you can equate their payment to less then or near registration player fees.
Set-up/Security -Use your own judgement as to their value. We suggest paying them or if they are from out of town
give them a guest room.
Medic - Pay them
Official Booth - Pay them
Registration Staff - Pay them
Coordinators - Guest rooms if they are from out of town otherwise pay them
Center Referees - Guest rooms if they are from out of town otherwise pay them
Referees - “T”-shirts hopefully you’ll get volunteers
Head Scorekeeper - Pay them
Scorekeepers - “T”-shirts and maybe small payments
Catering - Pay them
Whatever you give staff try to make it equal for all staff doing the same jobs. Depending upon who your staff members are, “T” shirts and after tournament staff dinners or parties are possibilities instead of money payments.
The
Sense of a
Goose
hen you see a flock of geese heading south for the winter flying along in “V” formation, you might find it interesting to know that science has discovered why they
fly that way. Scientists have found that as each bird flaps its wings, it creates an
uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in a “V” formation, the whole flock
adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.
(People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier, because they are traveling on the trust and uplift of one another.)
Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it
alone. Quickly, it gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front.
(If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay in formation with those who are traveling in the same direction.)
When the lead goose gets tired, it rotates back in the wing and another goose flies point.
(It pays to take turns doing hard jobs...with people or with geese flying south.)
The geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.
(What do we say when we honk from behind?)
Finally, when a goose gets sick, or is wounded by gun shot and falls out, two geese fall out of formation and follow it down to give help and protection. The support geese stay with the injured goose until
it either is able to fly or has died. Afterwards they launch out on their own or with another formation to
catch up with their own group.
(If we have the sense of a goose we will stand by each other like that.)

NBL Tourn Pro - Con Team 4/4/06
MAKE YOUR CONFERENCE A TEAM EFFORT
It is human instinct to ultimately be concerned about one self-preservation than of your neighbors. This is not necessarily a bad thing or ethically wrong. We equate success to achievement and goal obtainment and should not feel
guilty as long as we do not take advantage of others in what our society has determined as unrighteous methods of
business.
Every person is born dependent and innately strives to become independent of others. It is a matter of pride and a
sign of success to achieve independency. There is however a higher level of achievement of success than independency called interdependency. This is where a successfully independent person interacts and becomes cohesive with
other constituents to improve the growth level of all those that cooperate with each other, thus uplifiting himself to an
even more successful status. Examples of this can be seen in modern business practices everywhere.
Analyze your own reactions as an example to see the advantage of cooperation of teamwork in sport karate. If you
were a competitor would feel more accomplished winning a single tournament that’s not affiliated with an association
or league or earning the admiration of those that only attended that event or live in that local area, or would you feel
more successful winning a tournament that has status as an event that is part of group of events that are presented as
the elite status of sport karate. The choice as a competitor trying to achieve notoriety is obvious.
With that thought in mind it should be the smart tournament promoter that strives to make his tournament more successful by cultivating the success of his constituents’ tournaments as well. People gravitate toward success or what is
perceived as success when they see strength in numbers or strength of unity of the already most successful people. In
other words success is perceived and ultimately achieved through teamwork. Conference teamwork is paramount for
your highest level of success.
Take into consideration players that have never been to your tournament, but attend one of the tournaments in your
conference and it is poorly run. Are they more or less likely to attend your event since you are a member affiliate? If
you want to have your tournament grow don’t wish your tournament to be better than the other tournaments in your
conference, wish theirs to be better than yours. If each of the Conference Promoters genuinely express their desire and
work towards having the next tournament in your conference be the best event to date, that will be seen and felt by
all that consider attending other NBL tournaments. If all the Promoters do this for each conference tournament that is
next up then obviously all the promoters will be genuinely working towards the success of your event when it is next.
Remember is should not be your goal to have the biggest tournament in your conference to the detriment of the other
promoters, but rather to have a more successful tournament than your had the prior year. Your success is not achieved
by the failure of others. If your tournament is the most successful event in your conference, but is less successful than
the prior year, did you or your constituents advance?
You need to become tournament promoters that can run perfect tournaments independently of each other, but elect
not to because you all realize that the higher level of success is perceived and obtained when you appear as, and is
reality are, a team. In other words you should have the ability and staff to run a tournament independently, but instead
you use that staff to work with the staff and Promoters of the other tournaments in your conference to better all of you
and show the followers your conferences’ strength as a team.
A few considerations:
1. Meetings - Have a conference meeting on a regular basis at each other’s tournaments. Also have one or two
non-tournament meetings. One should be preferably after the season and before the SG to encourage each other
to get their brochures out before the SG and plan conference strategy for the next year. The other meeting should
be prior to the start of the season to enact strategy and discuss conference tournament staffing for the season.
a.
b.
Sept or Oct Meeting - To get brochures out before SG and discuss the following year.
Jan or Feb Meeting - To discuss exchange of tournament staffing and discuss the upcoming season.
2. Brochures by SG - I cannot express enough as to the importance of having your following year’s brochure out
by the SG. Enthusiasm is the highest at SG and everyone is discussing and planning their next season. Schools
and parents plan ahead. You will loose people for every day you don’t have your brochure out. Statistics will
also prove that those with their brochures out the earliest have the better run tournament as well.
The smart conference is the one where all the promoters have their brochures out before SG and have a special
envelope made with their conference name and logo printed on it with a cover letter and each of the
conference’s tournament brochures inside. These would be picked up by SG attendees as well as all the
potential NBL followers in your area as you distribute them at your local tournaments.
3. Conference Staffing - If you’re a smart tournament promoter you will realize there is no loss of pride taking
on any job and learning and processing it to its entirety at each others events. As promoters you should take
turns learning to become Ring Coordinators, Scorekeepers or Head Scorekeepers and participants in the
Registration process and as Finals Coordinators (National Conference Promoters), etc. Likewise you should
allow and encourage your tournament staff to become staff for your other conference events and as a promoter
you should allow and encourage staff of the other events to be your staff as well.
At your Conference meeting (where you have this workbook of course) you should decide your staffing for each
event as a group and write it down.
