Sunday Tournaments

[Kicks]

I've seen several forum members mention that they "have a tournament this Sunday". Down here we never have tournaments on Sundays, they are always on Saturdays. The only time I've seen Sunday competition is at a national championship.

Who here competes on Sundays? Why does your organization have Sunday tournaments?

"Our" Sunday tournaments (sparring and randori kumite) happen once a month. They're mandatory for everyone with a blue or a higher belt, there are no spectators allowed and the results are taken into account at the gradings for a higher belt.

The only reason they're held on Sundays is because some people work Saturdays.

all my tournaments are held on a sunday, from my own associations invitational to national opens.

works well for me as saturday is the only day i can hold my classes.

Most Open tourneys in the UK happen on Sundays. I've only ever been to one that was a Saturday.

Peoples generally have their tournaments on Sundays, but my teacher is nice, and since I'm a Seventh Day Adventist, he has a few on Sunday once in a while.

Sunday tournaments are not my favorite either. Some events are split into both Saturday and Sunday. Fortunately, there's not too many of them. This is especially important for those of us who have to travel.

My school goes to 2 tournaments (as a team) a year. The CT TKD Open and the Mass TKD Open. The CT tourney is always on a Saturday, but the Massachusettes one os always on a Sunday.

Congrats on your weight loss by the way.

For our association, we compete on saturdays, usually. But there has been a few sundays thrown in there. When I was in TSD, we had both saturday and/or sunday tournies. Neither really bother me.

Tournaments in my area are usually on Sundays, because people work on Saturdays. It's not a big deal for me religiously, I'm Catholic, but I just go to mass the night before.
