The day finished with the distribution of the IUC examination, which needed to be completed by all participants as part of their certification. Day two consisted of ring councils scoring live matches in patterns and sparring and using the ITF electronic scoring system. Video analysis was also used throughout the course with footage of top-level athletes from ITF world championships as a tool for learning, discussion etc.<\/p>\n[separator top=\u00bb10″]\n
