- Bracket Management – How to understand the bracket format and how to properly recognize and advance the competitors
- In the past as well as recently during this year’s SGOM tournament we awarded gold medals to competitors that actually did not win the bracket and in turn awarded silver or bronze medals to those that did not lose.
- Bracket Management – How to indicate which place each competitor finished.
- Currently there are multiple ways that brackets are being completed to indicate how each competitor finished. Arrows, circles, writing of extra notes have all been used in the past. This has caused confusion for the masters handing out medals and volunteers trying to record the winners.
This training will also be streamed live on zoom for those located out of state.
Registration for our November tournament is now open. Please see the link below and forward to your instructors and students. The deadline to register will be November 9th and November 5th for anyone in the breaking divisions due to purchasing boards.
