There is poomsae competitions, pair poomsae, team poomsae, and sparring competitions, which will be based on your age and weight. It is very official and has very official judging, rules, and referees. This is a very strict competition in which you must put a lot of effort into. I won a bronze medal (3rd Place) in pair forms. I reccomend this competition to anybody who is willing to train insanely hard to win. I trust that anybody who reads this will take my advice and make the right choice. Don't do just to say that you went to the US Open, you want to be able to say that I went to the US Open, put all my effort into it, did my best, and won a medal. That's what you want to be able to say to your family and friends.
