The Novice division is designed as a safe and positive first step into competition. We tested this format before and it worked really well.

• Small groups (4 athletes)
  
• Every athlete gets 3 matches
  
• No knockout stage
  
• Medals for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each group
  

If you don’t like this format, no problem – just register in Beginner. After all, it’s all white belts.
