The team management get the draws and the programme details at their briefing tonight. In the mean time Master McPhail and Mr Banicevich came in and met with coaches this afternoon while they had a break in their seminars and debriefed them on rule interpretation decisions and the programme. We haven't seen much of the 4 NZ officials as they're staying in a hotel away from us and have spent most of their time at various official meetings and seminars etc.
From what I have gleaned (and the official programme) here's how it will go:
Thursday May 31:
From 8.30am - 12.30pm, then 2.30pm - 6.30pm
Individual and team patterns
Concurrent weigh in in the morning
Specialty
First round of pre-arranged sparring (because it is a new event this is to give the judges a "feel" for what they will be judging).
7pm-8.30pm Opening ceremony & historic photo shoot (contestants and supporters in Dobok)
Friday June 1:
From 8.30am-12.30pm Competition (I'm not sure what events yet)
3pm-6pm XVI ITF Congress (where NZ will pitch for the 2011 world champs)
4pm-6pm Mass Outdoor Training
7.30-10pm 1st ITF Hall of Fame Banquet Evening (fingers crossed for NZ nominees Master McPhail, Carl Van Roon and Johs Van Pierce)
Saturday June 2: (very big day for sparring)
8.30am-12.30pm, 2.30pm-6.30pm Sparring
7.30-10.30pm Sparring Finals
Sunday June 3:
8.30am-12.30pm, 3.00pm-6.00pm Competition Finals
6.00pm-6.45pm Closing Ceremony
9.00pm-2.00am Farewell Party

Tuesday
The remaining contingent leave to come home or go on with their travels.
