Rules General Rules of Conduct 1. Proper martial arts uniforms are required to be worn by both competitors and judges. The attire must be neat and clean. 2. Judges decisions are final. 3. Coaching of any competitor in the ring is not permitted, and will lead to disqualification. 4. Spectators are not permitted on the competition floor. 5. Failure to abide by the rules may result in disqualification and ejection. All disputes are to be taken to the designated arbitrator. 6. All competitors must compete at the highest level they have earned in the martial arts. A competitor will not be allowed to compete in a division in which he/she has not earned that rank.

Competitors must approach judges, bow, state their name, style of martial art, and kata, then move back into the ring to begin. Upon completion of kata, the first three competitors will bow out of the ring, to be called back for scoring after the third kata. Each subsequent competitor will be scored upon completion of his or her kata. 5. For summation of final score, the high and low score of each competitor will be dropped from the total.
