As well as events for individuals, there was a Semi-Contact tournament for national teams at the W.A.K.O. World Championships 2007 in Coimbra. Each team consisted of four members – three men and one woman – with no weight categories, although fights were same-sex only (e.g. women faced women, men faced men). There were thirteen teams from two continents ( Europe and North America) taking part in the competition and each of the matches was four rounds of one minute each (each fighter on a team fought one round against the opposing team, with the women fighting last), fought under Semi-Contact rules. [1]
Due to there not being enough teams for a tournament designed for sixteen, three of the teams had byes through to the quarter-finals. The tournament gold medallists were Team Great Britain who defeated Team Hungary in the final by points decision. Team USA and Team Germany occupied the bronze medal spots. [2]
