phelps 7,210 Posted February 19, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted February 19, 2022 here are some news about the "new" K1PL... New Karate 1 Premier League: Updated registration process gives athletes more chances to shine The season of Karate 1-Premier League begins this month with the first event to be held in Fujairah (UAE) from February 18 to 20. New features are added this year to further increase the prominence of the event and to consolidate the tournaments as truly elite sporting competitions. In order to stimulate the competitiveness of athletes even more, the registration process of the Karate 1-Premier League has now been updated. The main elements of the new registration format are: Limited number of competitors Greater importance of WKF World Ranking Priority to top-ranked athletes As it happened in previous editions, the participation in Karate 1-Premier League is limited to a maximum of 32 competitors per category. To establish the event as a truly elite competition, the tournaments are restricted to the Top 100 athletes in WKF World Ranking. THREE PHASES OF REGISTRATION Additionally, the registration process has been updated to provide more opportunities for the best karatekas to participate. The new inscription system is divided into three phases: The first phase is limited to competitors placed in positions 1 to 32 of the WKF World Ranking. The second phase is open to athletes ranked in positions 33 to 64. The final phase is for competitors in positions 65 to 100. The second and third phases will be available until the maximum of 32 athletes per category is completed. With this update, the top-ranked athletes find now an easier path to register, as they have now priority in the registration of the events. Therefore, the competitive level of the events is now guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 7,210 Posted February 19, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted February 19, 2022 and here comes the damage: the new competition format... New Karate 1 Premier League: Round Robin system to take event to new competitive heights The 2022 Karate 1-Premier League is introducing a new competition system. The Round Robin format will now be applied to the elimination rounds to further raise the competitive level of the tournaments. With the introduction of the Round Robin, competitors have now the opportunity to progress even more as athletes. The karatekas taking part in Karate 1-Premier League events will now fight a minimum number of bouts in the first stages of the competition. As the amount of bouts in each event is increased, competitors can now improve their sports performance at Karate’s biggest international tournaments. Moreover, greater fairness to the competition is added as karatekas will have to show their skills in several bouts before reaching the final phases of the competition. ROUND ROBIN EXPLAINED In the Round Robin system, karatekas are divided into pools of three or four competitors each. The participants in each pool will clash all against all in the elimination round. Athletes receive points for their performance in each bout of the pool phase, with two points being awarded for a victory, 1 for a tie, and 0 for a loss. "Hikiwake" or draw is permitted in Round Robin. The top-ranked competitors in each pool at the end of the elimination round will then qualify for the quarterfinals. The last rounds of the competition (quarterfinals, semi-finals, medal bouts, and repechages) will be done in a knockout format. Gianlu33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the round robin part though (athletes travel a long distance for more than just 1 match) but then with only 1 karateka advancing it's worse than the old format . this is interesting. wrestling is now using the (old) karate format. and Karate wants to use the old wrestling format. that's amazing. isn't it ?

I'm never a fan of a round robin when only one competitor advances. I thought after wrestling moved away from that format we'd see the end of it, but now badminton (at the Olympics) and karate have adopted it. Bleh.
