Karate Competition

Portmarnock Kenpo Karate hosted the IKKU Junior Kata Championships at the weekend.

The event involved 8 different grouping and the competitors went through their "forms" in 3 different areas.

I helped out by projecting a screen showing what was going on "now" and "next" in each of the 3 areas.

I just used PowerPoint to manage the screen.

In fact there were three slides: one to welcome people to the event; a second to show the activities in the 3 areas; and a third to show the names of the people who came first, second, and third in each category.

This photo shows how the screen looked from the far corner of the hall. Although the photo doesn't show it, it was actually possible to read what was on the screen from that distance.

In future venues it would be nice to (a) be able to show the screen more centrally and (b) to project onto a white wall (the walls look blue in the photo but in fact they are really a shade of green!)
