The competitors, which represent 15 countries, are divided in 6 different categories –70, -75, -80, -85, -90, +90 kg. In each division there are 10 fighters.
After all the fighters went through the official weigh-ins a referee seminar was held. All of the head referee and judges of SENSHI simulated situations that may occur during the fights. They also discussed winning methods and when to give and not to give minus points to the competitors. The refs, who already have serious experience in the ring, showed superb knowledge and quick reactions when judging in those simulations.
Right after the referee seminar there was a technical conference in which coaches, fighters and organizers of the tournament exchanged information and clarified the rules of the bouts. There was a quick QandA session in which various topics from the regulations of KWU SENSHI and KWU Full Contact were discussed.
