\n

Several changes to athlete eligibility for the 2019 Summer World University Games have been implemented this year by the International University Sports Federation (FISU). These changes\u00a0 will impact our USA team selection process for the Games. The changes instituted by FISU are as follows:<\/p>\n

1) Only athletes aged 18-25 (athlete\u2019s age on Dec. 31, 2019) are eligible to compete in the 2019 Summer World University Games.<\/p>\n

2) No fin (-54kg male, -46kg female) or heavy (+87kg male, +73kg female) sparring divisions will be contested at the 2019 Summer World University Games due to event housing constraints, leaving only 12 weight categories that will be contested at the Games.<\/p>\n

3) Only 6 poomsae athletes from each country are allowed to compete at the 2019 Summer Summer World University Games due to housing constraints.<\/p>\n

The NCTA wishes to be inclusive of all collegiate athletes. Therefore, in 2019, the NCTA will hold a team trials event (open to those meeting collegiate and age eligibility) that will be separate from the National Collegiate Taekwondo Championships (to be held April 19-21 at U. of Texas, Austin).<\/p>\n

Holding a separate team trials and\u00a0NCTA National Championships\u00a0will allow the Championships to be more inclusive in terms of age (18+), citizenship (international students allowed), and sparring weight classes (inclusive of all 16 weight divisions).<\/p>\n

The 2019 Summer World University Games team trials will only include divisions that will be contested at the Summer World University Games. Adjustments to the poomsae athlete selection process to meet the 6 athlete quota are being considered and will be announced as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

It is the NCTA’s intention that both the Team Trials and Championships events will be USAT sanctioned and USAT ranking point-bearing events.<\/p>\n

The date and location of the 2019 Collegiate Team Trials are being determined and will be announced as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

UPDATE (1\/3\/2019): The age range has been corrected from 19-25 to 18-25 based on the latest information from FISU.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
