ITF-TAO Canada played host of the 5th Umpire Course conducted by TAO Umpire Director Mr. Rick Winsor. This Umpire “A” and “B” Tournament Officials Course was held at Morningstar Taekwon-Do in Oakville, Ontario Canada. There were 47 attendees ranging from 1st Gup to 7th Dan. The Course is designed for participants to become familiar with the requirements of fulfilling the duties of a Head Official as well as a Center Referee. This was done through the review of course materials and hands-on practical application exercises allowing the students to perform these duties in a professional manner. It was a very successful seminar and all participants will be awarded the designation of Umpire “A” or “B” certification.
