The night before the tournament, the black belts meet and go over all details of the tournament so everything goes as smooth as possible. Then, on the day of the tournament everyone arrives, friends are greeted, check the assignment board, go to the change table if there are any errors, look at the posters from area classes, have a last minute practice, greet Master Lawlor as he arrives, and then, it is time to line up for the bow-in.

Pictures From All Areas - Pictures in this section were taken by Jurate Alaseviciene from Sweden. She was taking a course in photography and needed action pictures for her course and paper requirements. The following is a selection of her pictures, and we decided to keep them separate rather than incorporate them into the related sections. Enjoy.

Posters - The dojangs are encouraged to make a poster and bring it to the tournament to display.
