Eligibility:                             All competitors must be members in good standing with Judo B.C., their Provincial Judo Organization, or (for non-Canadian competitors) their appropriate National Judo Organization.  Competitors may be required to present their current membership cards at weigh-in.  Out of province competitors will be required to sign a waiver form, which must also be signed by a parent or guardian if the competitor is under the age of 19.

 

Refereeing:                          A pre-Shiai referee clinic will be held at the tournament site starting at 9:30 a.m. All referees and club coaches are encouraged to attend.  Clubs are requested to send referees with their team.

 

Elimination:                          Time permitting, we will attempt to ensure that competitors get as many matches as possible.  At minimum, Modified Double Elimination will be used.

 

 

 

 

Rules:             I.J.F. Rules will apply, except:

(1)     The rest period between matches will be 5 minutes, not 10.

(2)     The use of blue judo-gis (by the first called competitor only) is encouraged, not required.

(3)     Kansetsu waza are not permitted in any Novice Division.  Shime waza and kansetsu waza are not permitted in Junior (under 12 years old) Divisions. Attempts will be penalized.

(4)     Drop seoi-nage is prohibited in Junior and Juvenile Divisions.

(5)     In Junior Divisions the so-called “headlock” throw is strictly prohibited.  If this throw is attempted, matte will be called and the offending competitor warned. A second attempt, or if the other competitor is--in the sole opinion of the referee team on the mat--injured, will result in a direct hansouku-make (for an action which may endanger or injure the opponent).  As it is a prohibited technique, no score will result from the use of the “headlock throw.”

(6)     If a judoka is blind, the IBSA modifications to IJF rules shall apply to all of his/her matches.

 

Divisions:                    The Tournament Director reserves the right to modify the weight divisions and number of divisions.  In exercising this discretion, the Tournament Director will attempt to accommodate novice (white and yellow belt) and girls divisions.

This tournament is dedicated to the memory of Yves Loran, Sandan, from the Victoria Judo Club.  Yves passed away June 5, 2001 after a short illness. Yves started his judo career in his native France at the age of 19 after a car accident left him temporarily paralysed for two years.  He trained under Sensei Norris, a two-time European champion, for over ten years.  Yves received his Shodan in 1980.  He moved to Victoria and joined the Victoria Judo Club in 1981.

 

 For the next twenty years Yves devoted his time to the juniors of the club, and earned his promotions to Nidan in 1986 and Sandan in 1998.  To him, children were the future of judo.  Yves’ older son, Christopher, is a Sankyu.  His younger son, Elliot-- who has been on the B.C. team for the last two years--is a Nikyu. Yves’ family and club have set up a juniors’ travel fund at the Victoria Judo Club in his memory.
