LIVE Competition Opening Ceremony With Kwan Jang Nim H.C. Hwang

Opening Ceremony Begins:

• 8:00 AM Pacific
• 9:00 AM Mountain
• 10:00 Central
• 11:00 Eastern

Competition: will begin immediately after the opening ceremony and progress according to the qty of entrants and rings employed for the competition.

The Prerecorded Competition registration wizard will take you to the payment screen after video upload.

Currently, you cannot proceed to the payment screen without uploading your video.

An account on the Festival site is not needed to register for this event because all prerecorded uploads and accounts are on the Soo Bahk Do^® Institute.

The registration wizard asks if you already have a Soo Bahk Do^® Institute account and if you do, then you can just log in using your Institute credentials and proceed. If you do not have a Soo Bahk Do^® Institute account, then you can create one and proceed.

Understood. We will add a notification to the beginning of the registration wizard advising that a video upload is required to complete registration and checkout.

Perhaps later if pre-registration without a video upload is implemented, this notice will no longer be needed.

Thank you for helping us improve the registration experience.

1. Any registration experience always requires selecting each division the entrant wants to participate in.
2. However, if you mean why can't you select both divisions without needing to go through the registration wizard again, that may be improved going forward.
3. Because not all registrations are being done by the competitor and each division requires a video upload, going through the wizard for each division that is being entered helps minimize the chance that videos might get criss-crossed.  Again, we may improve the process going forward. Thanks for working through it as is for now.

You can do it! 🙂

Going forward we may add a pre-registration option, but it is not available for this event. You will need your video to complete registration, but you still have until the day before the event to upload it.
