Hi everyone!
We are looking forward to our 50th CTI Super Bowl tournament this Friday and Saturday, February 28th and March 1st!
IMPORTANT! Please note: While we do not typically charge a spectator fee at the tournaments, this tournament we are going to collect donations for Brown Big Ministries. Brown Bag is a local non-profit providing assistance for families and veterans. They are in need of new hats, gloves, socks, and underwear for all ages and sizes. If each of our families donated one or more of these items, we would be able to collect a mountain of much-needed cold weather gear for folks in our community. Donation bins will be available when you check-in for the event on Saturday.
Competition and Arrival Times:
- Demo Practice - Black Belt club members - 5pm on Friday night
- Black Belts will compete on Friday night at 6 pm. Spectators are welcome.
- All other students (white through red) will compete on Saturday. You will find details on your competition time below. You will need to arrive 30 minutes prior to the start time of your competition to check in, etc. Some divisions may begin early, so please be at Alameda at your arrival time. Thank you.

Location details, parking:
The tournament will be at Alameda International High School which is located at 1255 S Wadsworth Blvd., Lakewood, CO 80232.
Please park in the large parking lot on the southwest corner of Louisiana and Allison St. (There is another parking lot on the northwest corner of Arizona and Allison / north of the tennis courts that can be used for overflow parking).
Please do not double park and/or block someone in. If both parking lots are full, there is a lot of neighborhood street parking available in the area or you can see if there is room in the main entrance parking lot.
Checking students in, getting them to their rings, their competitions:
Once you enter, you will be directed to a check-in table. The check-in will be divided up alphabetically by last name so please proceed to the table marked with the first letter of your last name.
While checking-in, someone will write ring numbers on your hands. You will have a green number on your right hand and a red number on your left hand. Once you have your ring numbers, you will head to the upper bleachers of the gym to settle in. You will be called down to the floor for the group photo and will proceed to the green ring number after the group photo.
Parents of younger students competing at 10.30 am, you will take your student down to the gym floor when called for the group photo. After the group photo, announcements, etc., black belts will take the students to their correct ring number which will be the GREEN number on their right hand. The ring number will be labeled with big signs. These ring signs are not color coded, so please look to the ring number on your student's hand that is green and disregard the color of the ring sign.
Once students are settled at their rings, we ask that spectators stay in the upper bleachers and off the gym floor for safety and to provide more room for the competitions. Please show your students where you will be so they know where to find you. If you have a very young child (tigers ages 2 - 4) who needs assistance, it is okay if you need to stay nearby on the gym floor.
Tiger students (2-4 and some 5 year olds who attend 30 minutes classes) will compete in two divisions in the same ring and then will be dismissed for the day. Please come pick them up at the photo podium after their most kicks division.
All other students will compete in poomse first. We ask that parents remain in the upper bleachers during these competitions, please. After poomse competition ends, students will then go to the RED ring number on their LEFT hand for sparring (school program students will not spar but will compete in Most Kicks instead).
Parents of students ages 7 and under, please come down to the podium to collect your student after their first competition and to help them get to their second.
Students ages 8 and under will be finished with their competitions after sparring.
After your student is done competing in all of their divisions, please come down to the edge of the gym floor to collect them. Thank you.
Students ages 9 & up will compete in four or five events. Please do not leave until your student has competed in everything (poomse, two sparring divisions, Team Round House Kicking, and then students ages 12 & up will also compete in One-Steps). After sparring divisions conclude, please stay in the gym and listen for their name to be called to their additional divisions and ring numbers.
Etiquette and Uniform:
All students should arrive already dressed out in their uniforms with their belts tied. Anyone with long hair will need to have it tied back securely. No jewelry is permitted, and freshly pierced ears need to be covered from front to back with medical tape and/or bandaids. Students should wear a white crewneck t-shirt beneath their uniform top. Students should not wear jeans or secondary pants underneath their uniform pants as this will inhibit their ability to kick.
If you have any questions at all, please reach out to your instructor. We are so proud of all of our students' hard work and preparation, and we look forward to this weekend! Thank you.
