EKF-card: We’ll find a way to handle it.
Dear Sir or Lady,
it is my first time applying for your tournament and Dan grading and I have two questions:
1) Team competition: I did not see an option to choose this among the categories, I only applied for ladies and sandan+. Can I register for the team competition too? And if yes, will there be an option for me to join other team as a ronin?
2) Grading: I will attempt to pass my yondan exam and it was mentioned that EKF Grading book is needed. I do have a book, but my last two exams are not inscribed. How do we resolve it? You can see my current grade on EKF web page or I can send you a picture of my sandan diploma.
I also didn’t understand what information window “Söker till” on registration application demands, the rest of it should be correct.
Thank you for your answers.
Best regards,
Roza Jaki
