Volunteer Info

Welcome to the 2011 Legends of Kungfu World Martial Arts Championship!

We would like to thank all of you for volunteering your time to help make this event the best possible. As the tournament is approaching, we would like to list and explain the general duties involved. Volunteers are needed mainly on Saturday July 30 & Sunday July 31 at the Plano Convention Centre. You may come help out during either of these two days, and we ask that you commit to the times you decide on. Volunteer duties will be determined and you will be notified of your duty. Your dress attire may be casual (please be conservative) and you will be issued a badge that will identify you as a tournament staff. When you arrive to the event venue, please report to Jeffrey Windler, Travis Corgan or Bee Dao and they will direct you to your assigned duty. If you have any other questions or inquiries, you may contact us at (214) 878-4598 or e-mail usachinwoo@gmail.com.

Your role in this event is very important in making it successful and we will never be able to fully compensate you for your efforts, although we will do our best to make it a most enjoyable experience for you. Thank you again for your support and we will see you soon!

Volunteer Duties

Job Title
Required Days
Description
Door Attendants
Fri, Sat, & Sun
You will check participants for wristbands, hand stamps, and video passes upon entry into the tournament room.
Timekeeper Sat & Sun You will be responsible for monitoring time limits as required by each event and call audible warnings as time expires. You will also have to throw a small red beanbag into the center of the ring as a signal of time expired (for some events). You may be asked to stop and start the time as requested by the main judge. You will be operating a standard 3-button digital stopwatch. You will bring event sheets to and from the administration desk for recording.
Scorekeeper Sat & Sun

You will be required to record and calculate scores for each individual competitor as ring judges call them. You will be required to know how to take the average of a series of numbers (sum of individual scores / total number of scores).

Scorekeeping example:
Scores for competitor #1 are 9.5, 9.2, 9.8, 9.4, and 9.1

In this case with 5 scores, you will be asked to drop the highest and lowest score and average the remaining 3. If there is any deviation from this method, you will be notified by the center judge:

9.8 (highest score) and 9.1 (lowest score) is dropped.
Remaining scores are 9.5, 9.2, and 9.4.
The average of these 3 scores are:
(9.5 + 9.2 + 9.4) / 3
= 28.1 / 3
= 9.366 is the final score for competitor 1

Ring Assistants (Runners) Sat & Sun You will bring event sheets to and from the administration desk for recording. You may also be required to bring supplies (already provided) to the rings if necessary.
Floor Set-up & Clean Up (Demo Preparation) Sat & Sun ALL J.K. Wong students are required to participate in this responsibility. You will be required to clear the floor as necessary and then move chairs and tables back to each ring and make sure all necessary supplies are at each table after the demo.
* If you would like to do a certain duty and do not know how to do it, PLEASE let us know in advance and we will train you how or find something else you may enjoy doing.
