New Time table for 2014 World Kudo Championships & World Junior Championships
Last updated : 30 Oct. 2014
Since we have received many comments about the schedule for 14th (Fri), that Junior competitors need to take a day off from the school, and many of the audience cannot visit the venue because it is a weekday, we have moved the match schedule which was originally planned on 14th (Fri) to 15th (Sat).
Therefore, venue set-up and rehearsals are scheduled and the venue is not open to the public all day on 14th (Fri).
Schedule of the Championships
November 15th (Sat) Gates Open at 9.30 am Opening Ceremony from 10 am
November 16th (Sun) Gates Open at 9.30 am The competition starts at 10 am
*The above schedule is subject to adjustments depending on the number of participants Enquiries: Kudo International Federation Headquarters TEL (+81) 3 5953 1860
