8 KUMITE POINT SCORING SYSTEM A kumite match shall be 2 minutes of unstopped time, (unless the time is stopped by the centre judge) or until one of the competitors scores 3 points. One Point (ippon) will be awarded for crisp, clean striking techniques delivered with either the hand or foot to the scoring areas of the opponent. Three judges must call a point or an official warning for it to be given. Two judges must call a disqualification. After the two minute match, if the competitors are tied, their will be an additional one minute added, and the first point sc ored will be declared the winner. After the additional one minute, if the competitors are still tied, a second additional minute will be added, where again the first point scored will be declared the winner. After the second additional minute, if the score is still ti ed, the center judge will call for each judge to select a winner based on who they feel fought the best by show of flags. Contact is not necessarily required to score a point as long as the intent of ability has been shown. In junior divisions th e points awarded should be more lenient to avoid injury. Generally, any strike that passes beyond the block of the opponent should be considered a point in junior competition. In all divisions and especially the Black Belt competition, controlled contact to the body is expected. The first clear technique shown by either opponent shall be awarded as the point. It is with the intent that the point will be strong enough to deter follow up attacks. Flurries of techniques without conviction do not warrant a point. Techniques may not be awarded to a competitor if one or both of their feet are outside the boundaries of the ring, however, they may still be scored upon as long as their opponent remains fully in the ring and the point is scored before the Centre Judge stops the exchange. The Competitor : 1. competitors must wear a clean, traditional gi (uniform). The gi will be all white with the only acceptable markings being a patch on the left breast of the Wado Kai Kanji. Invited guests will be allowed to wear their own patch on the left breast of the gi at the discretion of the tournament coordinator. If the competitor s gi becomes bloodied or torn in a manner that may effect the outcome of the match; he/she will be asked to replace it. 2. jewelry (rings, necklaces, watches, earrings etc.) must be removed. For safety reasons facial piercing mus t be removed if possible. If they cannot be removed they must be taped and protected by approved headgear. 3. One competitor will be required to wear a red coloured marker during the kumite competition to distinguish the opponents apart during the actual kumite. 4. Competitors must be wearing the mandatory safety equipment as outlined in this package. It is highly recommended that all competitors wear appropriate foot pads. No hard plastic will be allowed except for chest and groin protection. No abrasive, rough, tattered, torn or loose equipment will be permitted. No protective equipment shall be allowed to contain any metal or hard plastic except appropriate chest and groin protection. Page 8 of 10

9 Legal Striking Areas : Although the front and side of the head, neck and throat are legal target areas, no contact is allowed. Contact to any of these areas will result in disqualification. To count, the point must be thrown with conviction but also with control. The torso, excluding two inches on either side of the spine is a legal target area with controlled contact allowed. The only techniques allowed below the belt are food sweeps. A foot sweep must be a controlled scooping action below the ankl e, not putting the leg at risk. Illegal Techniques : Any technique with intent to injure is illegal and is considered grounds for immediate disqualification. Any technique that makes contact to the head or neck is illegal and is considered grounds for immediate disqualification. Haito and shuto are the only legal open hand techniques. Excessive body contact (contact without control) is illegal and is considered grounds for immediate disqualification. The us e of elbows and knees, blind techniques, spinning blind techniques, flailing techniques, or techniques with a to tal lack of control (even if they do not make contact) are illegal and are considered grounds for immediate disqualification. Cause for penalization: Facial contact Use of excessive body contact Negligent or reckless attack Attacking illegal target areas Using illegal techniques Continuing to fight after being ordered to stop Running out of bounds to avoid fighting Disrespect to officials or other competitors (By the competitor, their instructor or parents) Un-sportsman like conduct Warnings : Any technique thrown to an illegal area without contact is a warning. The infractions do not have to be the same technique Upon the first infraction, a note shall be taken by the scorekeeper that the Centre Referee has declared an Official Warning Upon declaration of the second infraction the scorekeeper shall make note and the competitor in violation shall have a single point taken away from their accumulated score. If this competitor does not have a point at this time then their opponent shall rec eive a point in lieu. Upon declaration of the third infraction the competitor shall be disqualified from the match. Note: It is at the discretion of the centre referee to discuss a possible disqualification of a competitor if he/she feels that any of the above infractions are with malicious intent or not in consideration of the opponent s safety or well being.

The remaining three scores will be combined to determine the total score. 3. When there are two or more identical high marks, only one will be discarded. The same applies for the low marks. 4. When a tie between two competitors occurs, the high and low marks discarded will be added back in. If a tie still occurs, a kata shall be performed by each of the competitors and the judges will determine a winner by show of hands. 5.
