Drawings for kendo contests
by Simon
(Cananda)
I have just wondered if there was any source where I could find rules of making the drawing for the individual and team competitions in kendo champs.
I tried the championships sites, but I still cannot catch the system.
Also, I would like to understand the process of going through pool system.
Especially, when a kendoka comes out on the 1st place from pool e.g. XX, he/she gets on another kendoka from 2nd place from another pool e.g.YY and so on.
I do not understand the system. How things are going and why?
Thank you very much for your time.
Answer: First of all, I am so sorry that I did not reply for a long time. Usually the system tells me when there is a question but I did not receive anything form the system.
I cannot help you much with your question since I am not very experienced in such tournaments. But I think it is up to the host of the tournament.
You want to mix all the participants up so you do not have people in the same
dōjō/region don't fight too soon. And the winner of the previous championship could take the better position, i.e. they fight less.

It looks good to me.
Maybe some others can help you with this.
I am sorry that I could not be much of a help about this question.
