Quebec and Ontario Open
Dear Coaches,
This year Quebec Open and Ontario Open will be back to back in November 2014. Between these two tournaments there is a national training camp at the NTC in Montreal. Both of these tournaments are regional point’s tournaments and will be a qualifier for the new Elite 8 competition in January which is the Judo Canada selection tournament for Europe in March 2015.
Judo Alberta coaching staff recommend both tournaments to U18 and U21 athletes that wish to compete at an international level this year. Also we recommend athletes have competed at nationals prior to competing at either of these tournaments.
Judo Alberta will be organizing travel to and from these tournaments, Laurie Wiltshire will need to know who will be attending and what option for travel by September 27th, 2014 (Provincial training camp) with a $500.00 deposit made out to: Judo Alberta.
Option 1: Athlete travels to Montreal on October 31st, competes at Quebec Open and travels home to Alberta on November 3rd, 2014.
Option 2: Athlete travels to Montreal on October 31st, competes at Quebec Open, trains at the national camp, travels to Toronto by bus/ or van on November 7th, competes at Ontario Open, and returns to Alberta on November 9th at night.
Each athlete has to register themselves for these tournaments online. Please tell athletes to register as Judo Alberta as their club, this eliminates our Judo Alberta athletes facing each other first round.
