POLISH OPEN 2020 – new format of the event!

 

Dear Friends,

 

Taking into account the current epidemiological situation in Poland, the coronavirus pandemic and the restrictions introduced by the Polish Government, we were forced to change the format of our competitions.

 

After consultations with the city authorities and the Ministry of Sport, we decided to conduct the competition for KATA and KUMITE separately.

 

The competition will take place on Saturday, October 17, 2020, in the Sports and Entertainment Hall Pod Dębowcem in Bielsko-Biała.

 

POLISH OPEN 2020 – KATA – as a separate sports event will be held in the first half of the day. The beginning of the competition is scheduled for 09:00. After the end of the Kata competition, the necessary Kumite elements of the Sports Hall equipment will be disinfected.

 

POLISH OPEN 2020 – KUMITE – will be held after the Kata competition. Kumite competitions will be held without division into weight categories.

 

In accordance with current regulations, no more than 250 competitors are allowed to participate in the competition – counting separately for Kata and Kumite. Appropriate limits have been introduced in the system to handle the competition.
