The annual clicker competition for 2005 was held
on Saturday 14th May 2005. This was open to all students including high grades.
The venue was Killester Dojo. Preparations had been ongoing in all clubs for
months prior to this event. Such was the desire to compete that the draw was
only made 3 days prior to the tournament and even on the day we had one or two
late entries. The final set-up of the hall was complete by 11.00 and following
the referees meeting and a demonstration of the rules the tournament proper
kicked off.
There were five categories for this competition
- Aged 8 and under (Approx 32 entrants)
- Aged 10 and under (Approx 20 entrants)
- Aged 13 and under (Approx 32 entrants)
- Aged 16 and under (Approx 16 entrants)
- Over 16 (Approx 16 entrants)
With a total entry of over 110 fighters it was
going to be a long day for everyone not least the referees who performed
admirably throughout the day with little or no breaks. There were three
fighting areas each with a dedicated head referee, mirror referee, arbitrator,
timekeeper and draw controller. As usual Sensei Kevin ran around ensuring that
everything went smoothly. Each category was fought off through to the semi
finals and at this point all the fighting action switched to the centre area.
The days fighting finished on time at 17.00.
