TA has also advised the following:
Age divisions are in the table below but please note that TAPS points are currently awarded to divisions 15-17 and above.
The cadet division can currently be included in State TAPS events as a TAPS division, but as this division is new not yet in the policy and to create equal opportunity for all, points will not be counted until the National Championships.
Accordingly, TQ will be adjusting black belt (TAPS eligible) divisions to these age groups and will be adjusting the patterns performance requirements for anyone interested in TAPS accumulation. More information will issue on this by Thursday evening on www.tkdqld.com .
