Eligibility

Championship points may only be earned by registered school students competing in TNZ-sanctioned tournaments.

Points are awarded to the school of the student, not the individual competitor.

Points Structure

• 3 Points – Participation in a TNZ-sanctioned tournament.

• 10 Points – Participation in two or more categories (e.g., Poomsae & Kyorugi) in the same TNZ-sanctioned tournament.

• 20 Points – Division Bronze in a TNZ-sanctioned tournament.

• 30 Points – Division Silver in a TNZ-sanctioned tournament.

• 50 Points – Division Gold in a TNZ-sanctioned tournament.

Conditions of Points Awarding

Points are cumulative (e.g., an athlete who wins a Gold medal in Poomsae and also competes in Kyorugi will earn both participation points and medal points).

A competitor may only earn points for results officially confirmed by the tournament organisers and TNZ.

Evidence of Results

Students must submit evidence of tournament participation and results to schools@taekwondo.co.nz.

Evidence must include the competitor’s full name, school, tournament name/date, and official results.

Championship Rankings

Points will be tallied throughout the year and updated on the official TNZ Schools Championship leaderboard.

Disputes

All disputes must be directed to schools@taekwondo.co.nz and will be reviewed by the TNZ Board. Once the TNZ Board has made a final decision, no further correspondence will be entered into.

The school with the highest total points at the end of the season will be crowned 2026 Schools Taekwondo Champion.
