Championship Weekend started off with an open competition on Friday night featuring competition divisions in traditional kata, board/brick breaking, creative specialty, and demo teams. There was also a "Friday Fun Fest" that provided entertainment for kids attending the weekend's activities. Saturday provided a full day of activities that included the State Tournament, the Awards Banquet featuring the Rochelle Jazz Band, and the Dance that featured the mixing talents of DJ Silky Smooth.
