I was wondering if you guys interpret the same thing as me?
"Sparring
•Athletes must compete in the age category according to the age he/she will be as of December 31, 2012.
•Color Belts (Grass Root only): 6+ year olds – All participants will qualify for the 2012 USAT Junior & Senior National Championships if they participate in a sanctioned 2012 State Championships.
•Black Belts (Grass Root only): 6-9 and 33+ year olds -- All participants will qualify for the 2012 USAT Junior & Senior National Championships if they compete in a sanctioned 2012 State Championships.
•Black Belts: 10-32 year olds – The top four finalists at a 2012 State Championships or USAT Regional Qualifier will qualify for World Class sparring divisions. All other participants will qualify for the Grass Root divisions.
Poomsae
•All individuals participating in a state championships will advance to the 2012 USAT Junior & Senior National Championships.
•14-99 year old Black Belts – The top 3 finalists at a 2012 State Championships or USAT Regional Qualifier will qualify for World Class Poomsae divisions.
•2012 U.S. National Poomsae Team Trials -- The World Class Poomsae divisions at the 2012 National Championships will serve as the 2012 U.S. National Team Trials."
It did not anything about the rest of the 14+BB who will not be in the top 4. Will they have any event to compete at Nationals? Is it either place top 4 to compete or nothing?
Is this wise of USAT to elimate the segment of people, 14+ BB, who wants to compete Poomsae as recreational only and the potential revenue earning?
