The commission appointed by the WTF to shape what would be the Grand Prix Series, was also commissioned to do a new grading for ranking points. Those in charge of this work were: Philippe Bouedo (French Taekwondo Federation), Gary Hall (British Taekwondo Federation), Dai Won Moon, Jin Bang Yang, Jeongkang Seo and Adit Arora.
This new grading doubles the amount of points that were awarded to the Olympics, going from G 10 to G 20, while the World Championship would become G12.
The circuit called the “Grand Prix Series” will also award a lot of ranking points since the preliminary stage will be G4 while the final event will have the status of G8.
