I was initially reviewing this for close but after reviewing {{u|Dream Focus}}'s statement, I conducted my own  search and came to the conclusion that the event is notable. To avoid super-voting, I am adding my argument to the keep camp. I would like to point out this is being described as an inaugural event and is set to take place on September 3-7 -- it hasn't happened yet. However, we cannot ignore the fact that there is significant coverage on the teams being sent; looking through a |SET there are hundreds of results covering teams being sent http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/story/26264921/teen-martial-artist-headed-for-international-competition, http://utsa.edu/today/2014/07/sierraluna.html, http://lakerlutznews.com/lln/?p=19800, http://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/news/uea_student_to_qualify_for_the_world_martial_arts_games_in_canada_1_3658407, http://www.china.org.cn/sports/2013-10/25/content_30401413.htm, http://blogs.umsl.edu/news/2010/09/07/friedmann/. The Richmond Review reported, "http://www.richmondreview.com/sports/271309871.html the event will showcase 700 athletes from 30 countries around the world.". For me at least, this indicates a very large scale competition. I would also like to point out that much of the debate would perhaps represent surmountable problems in sourcing or the article state -- I do acknowledge the notability concerns as well though
