Doboks for 13th National Taekwondo Championships
The 13th National Poomsae Championships will be held this weekend at Toa Payoh Sports Hall. SNOC has assured us that this tournament is SNOC sanctioned, just as all upcoming tournaments organized by STF during our temporary suspension.
As previously stated, only STF-approved taekwondo uniform brands, namely Adidas, Daedo, Jcalicu, Kwon, Mooto, Victory(Mudoin) and Wacoku (Champ) would be allowed during competition.
While the license agreement for Nike uniforms expired in September 2017, the ex-supplier is working with STF on an amicable solution for participants with Nike uniforms.
The Management Committee has agreed that Nike uniforms can be worn by participants for the 13th National Poomsae Championships, but that the Nike logos and brand name must be taped over with a white coloured tape. Failure to do so may warrant a disqualification if the participant is in the Field of Play.
Do note that this concession applies only to this championship. STF reserves the right to use only brands for its events and championships.
Extraordinary General Meeting (19 May 2019)
The Management Committee conveyed an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) on Sunday 19th May 2019 at 16: 00 pm at the National Training Centre.
130 representatives from our affiliates attended. Once everyone has registered and settled, the meeting commenced at 16:15 pm.
After the opening address by the Acting President, Mr David Koh, Mr Sebastian Lee, the Assistant Treasurer explained in detail the background to the preliminary suspension of STF by WT and SNOC. The representatives then voted on the following resolution.
3. Acceptance
3.1. Acceptance of WT’s Directive for STF Management Committee to step aside.
3.2. Acceptance to allow an Interim Committee to be appointed by SNOC to oversee the management of STF and to implement SNOC’s and WT’s recommendations.
Of the 104 votes casted, 83 voted in favour of accepting the resolution and 21 against. The STF community looks forward to working with SNOC’s Interim Management Committee for the development of Taekwondo in Singapore.
13th National Taekwondo Poomsae Championships
The 13th National Taekwondo Poomsae Championships will be held on 25 & 26 May 2019 at Toa Payoh Sports Hall.
Participating teams are reminded that they must provide at least one referee per day per every 30 participants for the duration of the championships to qualify for participation. The referee may not be the same person. For example, it is acceptable for a club to submit four referees, one each for every competition day. A club will be barred from future participation if its referee fails to fulfil his or her obligations without the approval of the Tournament Chairman. Referees under attachment cannot represent their clubs.
There will be a team official meeting on Saturday 25 May 2019 at 10.45am at the venue before the commencement of the tournament to brief them on the tournament procedures and more. It is the responsibility of the club officials and coaches to be present for the briefing.
Only STF-approved taekwondo uniform brands, namely Adidas, Daedo, Jcalicu, Kwon, Mooto, Victory (Mudoin) and Wacoku (Champ), would be allowed during competition.
All club volunteers must report to Mr Andy Lee (Tournament Chairman) at 8.00am on both competition days.
National Poomsae Referees are to report to Mr Michael Ho (Chief Referee) at 10.00am on Saturday 25 May 2019 and at 8.00am Sunday 26 May 2019.
Please call Mr Lee at 9106 4421 if you require any further clarifications.
The STF wishes all participants and spectators an enjoyable and rewarding experience at the tournament.

This meeting was convened with the purpose of addressing the suspension of STF’s membership by WT and SNOC.
