limitation in function to Classifiers based on evidence of spasticity (increased tone), ataxia, athetosis or
dystonic movements while performing on the field of play or in training. The Athlete may walk with a slight

Pre-Screening Classification
In the case that you are uncertain if your athlete will meet the Minimal Impairment Criteria (MIC) for
participation in the K40 or P30 classes please contact the WT at para-tkd@WT.org and a classification
pre- screening can be made to help advise you if the athlete will meet the MIC or not.
Please be advised that Pre-Screening does not replace classification and that the athlete will still have to
go through classification at the championships.
3. Poomsae (P20)
Intellectually Disabled (ID) athletes require INAS provisional eligibility as seen on the INAS Master list
http://www.inas.org/technical/eligibility-and-classification/inas-master- list/.
Applications for INAS provisional eligibility shall be made through the INAS member organizations which
can be found on the following link: http://www.inas.org/about-us/member-organisations/.
In the case that a WT MNA does not have an INAS member organization the application for provisional
eligibility can be processed through the WT.
We ask that you get this process started as soon as possible as it can take INAS up to 30 days to
process your applications.
For more information see the following links:
Application information: http://www.inas.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Provisional-

3. COMBINATION OF CLASSES AND DIVISIONS
The WTO reserves the right to combine classes and divisions in the case of insufficient participation.
Combination of classes and/or divisions will be made by WT Head of Classification. In the case of
insufficient number of athletes, participating in a sport class consolidation of classes shall be made as
follows:
Kyorugi:
K41 → K42
K42 → K43
K43 → K44
Poomsae:
