There was also an overall ranking of the clubs, where Karate Mühlbach came in 9th place in Kata and 10th in Kumite. All competitors contributed to this club ranking, regardless of whether they made it onto the podium in the overall ranking or not, because they all collected valuable points and fought not only for themselves but also for Karate Mühlbach through their performances.
