All Competitors are to arrive at least 10 minutes prior to their designated time slot. Although Judges will do their best to make sure everything runs as scheduled, there may be minor time delays depending on the number of competitors in each division.
FORMS
Within designated divisions, each competitors will show their chosen Form. They will then be scored by 3 judges between 1 and 5 points (including half points). These will be totalled to determine 1st, 2nd & 3rd place. If there is a tie for 1st, 2nd or 3rd place, the competitors will have to perform again. Judges will signal the victor once both/all have completed their chosen Form.
All Sparring divisions will use the repercharge system (this will allow a minimum of 2 rounds per person). If you lose your first round you will drop into the repercharge. This will still give competitors the chance of winning 3rd place/bronze. If you lose a second round (unless it’s the final round for 1st and 2nd place), you will not earn a medal place.
Junior Yellow to Blue Belts will use Point Stop Sparring. Rounds will be 90 seconds. Each time a point/s are scored, the centre judge will call “break” and all judges will show points/strikes. 2 judges must agree for points/strikes to be awarded.
Purple to Red & Black Belt Juniors, all Teens, all Adults, and all Seniors will use Light Continuous Sparring. Judges allocate scores using clickers throughout each 90 second round. Competitors will not be stopped when scoring each point. At the end of the round, each judge will show the winner with the most scored points to determine the winner. In the unlikely event of a tie, competitors will be given an additional 30 second round. Corner judges will then present scores. If there is a tie again, the Centre Judge must determine a winner.
This event will also see a “Champions Award” to the competitor with the most points in each time slot.
PLEASE NOTE: White Events Uniform/Dobok is to be worn by all competitors.
