4 Kata Table Official's Overview Be sure to record kata name, as the same kata cannot be performed in consecutive rounds. Record all 5 scores, remove the highest and lowest scores, this gives the total score for this round. In the event of a tie, the lowest of the remaining scores will be compared for that round. If the tie persists, the highest of the remaining scores will be compared for that round. If scores are identical, tied players must perform another kata, different than the previous round. If there are more than 16 competitors, top 16 proceed to the next round. If there are 9-16 competitors, top 8 proceed to the final round.

5 Kumite Table Official's Notes The table official panel will consist of a time keeper, a scorer and an announcer. Important - Only the Chief Referee or tournament organiser may alter the draw for a division, ie, adding competitors or changing fighting orders. Duration of kumite bouts are 2 minutes for women and children, 3 minutes for men. Time is started every time hajime is called and stopped every time yame is called. The time keeper will indicate 30 seconds is left in the bout by calling 30 seconds. Full time or 3 points will be indicated by 2 sharp whistle blasts. If the referee has made a mistake with scoring the arbitrator will indicate with one sharp whistle blast to catch the referees attention and notify the referee of the error. Table officials may not change jobs half way through a bout. A winner is decided when one competitor reaches 3 points, or whoever has the most points at the end of the bout. In the case of a draw, the referee may enter the bout into sudden death extra time. All warnings and penalties carry forward into the extra time. Additional notes for Team Kumite: Before each match, a team representative must hand to the official table, an official form defining the names and fighting order of the team members. The fighting order can be changed for each round but once notified, it can not then be changed. A team will be disqualified if any of its members or its coach changes the team s composition without submitting the written fighting order. There is no extra time normal bouts in team kumite. The team that has won the most individual bouts will win the match and progress to the next round. In the case that both teams have won the same number of bouts, the team with the most number of total points will be the winner. In the case that there is still a tie, each team will select a representative for a deciding match. Deciding matches may go into extra time. Announcements and Gestures of the Referee SHOBU SANBON HAJIME (Important for time-keeper) Three point match, begin After the announcement, the Referee takes a step back.
