"“During the PATU EXCO & Council Meeting held prior to the 19th
Pan Am Championships heldin Aguascalientes, Mexico, it was
decided that G-2 Ranking will be designated to Pan Am Open
International Taekwondo Championships only” said Choi, President
of PATU.
The event would take place in September, 2015 in Mexico. “We
believe that the call and organization of the Pan American Open
has always been good. Additionally, we consider that if PATU
has a Pan Am Open championship, this event should be the one
with the G-2 rank, above the open championships organized by
MNA´s. We would expect that the WTF ratifies what they have
proposed and that PATU´s decision will be supported by the WTF”,
concluded Choi."
According to the structure WTF has given to its calendar of
events, where the World Championships, the Continental
Championships and the Grand Prix are prioritized, it would
confirm that only one G-2 event would be authorize in each
Continental Union in 2015, similar to what happened this year
During 2014, the events sanctioned as G-2 were the following:
1st Luxor Open in Africa; US Open in America; Lotto Dutch Open
in Europe; Gyeongju Korea Open in Asia and the Australia Open in
Oceania.
In a few weeks, we will know which events will be sanctioned as
G, the maximum rank an open championships can be sanctioned.
As far as the PATU is concerned, the deadline to apply for a G
event is November 30. After that, PATU sends its recommendation
to the WTF in late December.
This week PATU sent all its MNA members the guidelines and
requirements a G-1 event must fill, in order to achieve WTF´s
sanction.

WOW! Our plan is 1 G2 event and 3 G1 events...the US Open may
not be on that list based on the venue change and this article!
I also believe that the Patu is going to charge for a coaching
certification!
It never ends in TKD! We (USAT) continue to lose influence and
power!
