As Coaches are not a requirement for this event, in the case a competitor does not have a coach, the other competitor will also not have a coach present so as to make it fair for both competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Coaches Attire:<\/strong> Club T-shirt, track suit, trousers, socks, training shoes and a towel. No coaching in dobok is permitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coaches passes are non-transferable and are valid only for the original applicant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those only attending to coach should acquire their pass via their Instructor&#8217;s access to the Competition Manager site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_2385-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_2385-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_2385-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_2385-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_2385-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_2385-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_2385-600x400.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Referees<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Saturday 25th October<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>We would like to encourage all black belts to umpire on the Saturday so only colour belts will be coaching. We would suggest the club allocates just one Black Belt (it can be the instructor to coach, however we ask you to supply at least one umpire). We would like to encourage black belts from other groups to register to umpire to ensure fairness and a smooth running of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sunday 26th October<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Black Belts competing on the Sunday we want to encourage the best referees &amp; those willing to gain valuable experience umpiring at a high level, this is an ideal opportunity for umpires to showcase their skills and experience to give them the opportunity to umpire at international events in the future. We will pay the referees compensation to attend this event on this day as only 42 umpires will be accepted through the online application process for the Sunday event. To be a Jury President you will need to be a minimum class A or B, to be a Centre referee you will need to be a minimum class A or B and to be a referee you can be at least a class C. Class D (trained 1<sup>st<\/sup>\/2<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;Kups) can also referee and be jury members for experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Class A\/B Jury President \u00a375 for the day<br>Class A\/B Centre Referee or Referee \u00a350 for the day<br>Class C Referee \u00a330 for the day<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only 42 umpires will be accepted for Sunday through the online application process. The following minimum qualifications are required for each role:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jury President:<\/strong> Class A or B<br><strong>Centre Referee:<\/strong> Class A or B<br><strong>Referee:<\/strong> Class C+<br><strong>Class D (trained 1st\/2nd Kups)<\/strong> may also volunteer to referee or serve as jury members for experience and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On registration your ITF umpire number will be required and your bank details to be able to receive payment. You may still referee without your umpire number without receiving compensation if you wish and some lower certified umpires may be given the opportunity to be a Centre Referee or Jury President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all appreciate our competitors having the best umpires, so the money raised from spectator and coaches fees will go towards paying the compensation for our umpires who work throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applications will open on 1<sup>st<\/sup> July 2025 and close on the 17th October, you will be notified immediately once accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dress Code \u2013 Navy blue suit, white shirt, navy blue tie, white socks, white trainers, pen.

On the Sunday we will use a League system for Pre-Junior, Junior and Adult Black Belt divisions and there will only be one bronze medal available in all divisions. In the case of 3 competitors in a draw it will be a round robin, with four competitors it means after losing the first round they will still compete for Bronze, once a competitor loses two bouts then they are out of the draw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There will be up to 1 gold, 1 silver and up to 2 bronze medals available for each division on Saturday and 1 bronze medal on Sunday unless in special technique or power test where less than 3 competitors are successful in passing the first round. These special medals are custom made, exclusive AETA medals with OPEN ENGLISH CHAMPIONSHIPS 2025 written on the ribbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only medals that are won can go towards points for overall competitors and Club awards. Medals will still be handed out though in categories of 4 or less on the Saturday, that will not count towards overall points. Overall champions from each age range and from all three events will receive a special overall trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There will be 3 overall club trophies for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. This is only available for clubs and not for associations who amalgamate students under one name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0407-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0407-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0407-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0407-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0407-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0407-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_0407-600x400.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Venue<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dolphin, Haywards Heath, RH16 1LY<br>(score.lateral.questions \u2013 What3Words)<br>Tel: 01444 457337<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9921-683x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9921-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9921-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9921-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9921-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9921-1365x2048.jpeg 1365w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9921-600x900.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_9921.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Full Invitation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For more detail on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travel Directions<br>Electronic Scoring<br>Draw System<br>Rules<br>Divisions<br>Welfare\/Safeguarding<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please download the full invitation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-call-to-action uagb-block-998f5adb wp-block-button\"><div class=\"uagb-cta__wrap\"><h3 class=\"uagb-cta__title\">Download the Invitation<\/h3><p class=\"uagb-cta__desc\">This is a PDF document.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"uagb-cta__buttons\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/OPEN-ENGLISH-CHAMPIONSHIPS-2025-Invite-Final.pdf\" class=\"uagb-cta__button-link-wrapper wp-block-button__link\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download<svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path d=\"M480 352h-133.5l-45.25 45.25C289.2 409.3 273.1 416 256 416s-33.16-6.656-45.25-18.75L165.5 352H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v96c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h448c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-96C512 366.3 497.7 352 480 352zM432 456c-13.2 0-24-10.8-24-24c0-13.2 10.8-24 24-24s24 10.8 24 24C456 445.2 445.2 456 432 456zM233.4 374.6C239.6 380.9 247.8 384 256 384s16.38-3.125 22.62-9.375l128-128c12.49-12.5 12.49-32.75 0-45.25c-12.5-12.5-32.76-12.5-45.25 0L288 274.8V32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32C238.3 0 224 14.33 224 32v242.8L150.6 201.4c-12.49-12.5-32.75-12.5-45.25 0c-12.49 12.5-12.49 32.75 0 45.25L233.4 374.6z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6804-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32858\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6804-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6804-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6804-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6804-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6804-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6804-600x600.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6804-100x100.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/aeta.uk\/build\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6804.jpeg 1571w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AETA Open English Championships 2025 25th\/26th&nbsp;October 2025 EARLY BIRD REDUCED PRICING WAS IN EFFECT UNTIL OCTOBER 3RD Only members affiliated to the ITF www.itftkd.sport&nbsp;&nbsp;are eligible to participate.
