The evaluation of every technique of the Kata considers the principle and execution. The evaluation shall be comprehensive; including the opening and closing ceremony. When there are five judges, the scores for each technique shall be as follows; lowest and highest scores are excluded and the remaining scores are summed together to determine the technique s total score. When there are less than five judges (i.e., three or four judges), all scores are summed together to determine the technique s total score. All techniques total scores are summed up to determine the overall score for the couple. DEFINITION OF MISTAKES FORGOTTEN TECHNIQUE An omitted technique will score zero and in addition the total final score of the Kata couple will be halved. If more than one technique are forgotten the score for that technique will also be zero but the total final score for the couple will not be halved again. Finally, if the halved total final score is not a whole number then the score will be rounded up. 4

5 BIG MISTAKE When the execution of the principle is incorrect (5 points are deducted and the maximum number of crosses is one) MEDIUM MISTAKE When one or more elements of the principle are not applied in the correct way (3 points are deducted and the maximum number of crosses is one). SMALL MISTAKE Imperfection in the application of the technique (1 point is deducted and the maximum number of crosses is two). In the Nage no Kata, right and left techniques will be evaluated comprehensively (only one score). The couple enters and leaves the competition area at the opposite side of Shomen: the start and end of Kata (opening and closing ceremony) is at 8 m or 10 m distance depending on the dimensions of the mat and starts with the bow onto the mat and ends with the bow off of the mat.
