Please see below for some important updates to the NCTA Championships.

  1. Please note that due to space availability, the General Assembly has meeting time has been changed to 6-8pm at the University of Texas, Austin Recreational Sports Center on Friday, April 19, 2019.
  2. The deadline to verify student status via the National Student Clearinghouse is April 8, 2019. It was incorrectly noted in one place in the packet and has now been updated. Instructions on how to verify your student status are in the tournament packet.
  3. Gen 2 socks will now be permitted for use at the NCTA Championships.

After careful consideration and consultation, the NCTA has decided to allow Daedo Gen 2 socks to be used at the 2019 NCTA Championships. Although the Gen 2 socks are not designed for use with Gen 1 electronic body protectors (EBP), we received feedback that athletes do not want to invest in older technology as it is cost prohibitive. Athletes may still use Gen 1 socks with or without heel socks; please note that those using Gen 1 socks will be at a disadvantage against an athlete using Gen 2 socks, since Gen 2 socks have more magnet sensors and therefore will score more easily.

While we recognize that those who have invested in Gen 1 socks may now feel the need to upgrade, the NCTA feels that it is in the best interest of the athletes to allow them to invest in Gen 2 as it is future-oriented. Athletes may order new Gen 2 socks at https://www.tkdscore.com/m5/G2%20E-Foot–gen2-e-foot-gear.html.
