No. 08/449 To: Presidents and Secretaries General, Member National Associations of the WTF Re: Change of dates of 3rd WTF Taekwondo Poomsae Championships Dear Colleagues: As announced in the last General Assembly, the 3rd WTF Taekwondo Poomsae Championships is scheduled to be held in Ankara, Turkey, on December 12-14, 2008. I have just learnt from Mr. Metin Sahin, member of the WTF Council and president of the Turkish Taekwondo Federation, that the dates of the championships would need to be postponed. The reason for the postponement is that the Turkish government has just declared December 6-14, 2008, as an Islamic holiday. Considering that November is too early and late December is a popular festive period, the Turkish Organizing Committee has proposed that the championships be held on December 16-18, 2008. Such a change of dates is unfavorable for all parties, especially to the athletes. Nonetheless, the decision of the Turkish government is unexpected but we should graciously accept it. I ask for your understanding in embracing the change and supporting the championships. The Turkish Organizing Committee will be sending the revised invitation package early next week and I thank you in advanced for your favorable confirmation of participation. Sincerely yours, Chungwon Choue President --__--__-- Message: 3 Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 15:44:45 -0700 From: The_Dojang To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] WTF World ranking system Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Development of WTF World ranking system 14 Oct 2008 Ref. No. 08/454 To: WTF Council WTF Member National Associations Re: Development of WTF World ranking system Dear Colleagues: The World Taekwondo Federation will initiate the development of an athlete ranking system this month and present its plans at the extraordinary WTF Council meeting in December 2008. The athlete ranking system will include various informative statistics and is aimed at making taekwondo championships more exciting to the public and to the media. The system may eventually serve as a platform for the creation of a professional league, which will be beneficial for the WTF and the athletes in terms of marketing opportunities and generating revenue. In principle, the athlete ranking system will be applied in WTF-promoted and WTF-sanctioned taekwondo championships. The successful implementation of an athlete ranking system will help the WTF's quest to organize a prestigious annual invitational championship where only the top-ranked athletes will be invited. Attached herewith is the proposal for the ranking system. If you have any suggestions, please submit them to the WTF Sport Division (sport@wtf.org) before October 31, 2008, as the WTF intends to implement the athlete ranking system from January 1, 2009. Sincerely yours, Chungwon Choue President --__--__-- Message: 4 Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 15:49:21 -0700 From: The_Dojang To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net Subject: [The_Dojang] Poomsae Team Trainers Reply-To: the_dojang@martialartsresource.net U.S. National Poomsae Team Appoints Trainers Bill Kellick USA Taekwondo October 14, 2008 The U.S. National Poomsae Team has apponted Ibrahim Chishti (Carlsbad, Calif.) as men's team trainer and Akiko Reyes (Chatsworth, Calif.) as trainer for the women's team.
