BC Taekwondo Referee News
January 2017…
Happy New Year! Our first official referee seminars for 2017 are coming up to prepare for the BC Championships and Junior/Senior Team Trials. New kyorugi rules are now in effect and it will be very important for all referees to take a seminar and understand the new rules and hand signals.
Spaces for each seminar are limited, so register early – register now! Details below and on the referee website. Please forward this email to any others who you think may be interested in officiating and to coaches and athletes who want to learn the new rules.

Annual Referee Membership
If your referee membership has lapsed, your fee is now past due, so renew now! You will need to pay your referee membership in order to participate in seminars and tournaments.

Online registration is now open for all events. If this is your first official seminar or if it has been more than 2 years since your last seminar, register with the “certification” rate. Otherwise, you can register at the “refresher” rate. Coaches and athletes can audit the seminars as well, without getting an annual membership. The seminar outline and pre-seminar study guide will be available to all registered participants before each seminar.
No Longer Refereeing?
If you have not renewed your referee membership since September 2015, your referee certification is no longer valid.
If you have any questions, contact Master John Kim via the email below or the “Contact Us” page.
