IntroductionThis handbook is designed to supplement class information on all things Taekwondo competition

related. It is aimed at those who are either new to competing or just wanting a reminder of what

happens; this is only a basic rundown of what to expect before and during a competition. Covered in

this document will be:

a checklist of item to bring with you

basic competition rules

etiquette and protocols

volunteering role

and some tips on dieting if you are going down that route.

It should be noted, however, that the rules outlined in this booklet are not a comprehensive list of all

World Taekwondo or International Taekwondo Federation rules nor does this booklet provide any

detailed discussions on their application and interpretation. If you would like to know more about the

interpretation and application of competition rules, it is recommended to consult a judging handbook,

your coach or relevant committee members. Lastly, as officiating bodies have a habit of modifying

rules on an annual basis, it is recommended to consult your coach for the most up-to-date information

for your competition. The rules outlined here were up-to-date at the time of distribution.

Lastly, don’t forget to have fun!

divisions) and your weight. Depending on the competition, weight categories can follow the standard

system or the Olympic system.

Gam-jeoms and referee decisionsIf you receive a gam-jeom, an extra point is added to your opponent’s score. The ten reasons for

getting a gam-jeom are:

Leaving the ring Attacking a fallen opponent

Grabbing Falling down

Attacking after “Kal-yeo (stop)” Kneeing your opponent

Punching to the head Kicking below the waist

Avoiding or deliberately delaying the

fight

Misconduct by the contestant or coach

Lifting your leg for more than 3 seconds

without kicking or blocking with your leg

4 | P a g e

If the referee sees a gam-jeom they will pause the fight and gesture to the offender which gam-jeom

has been committed. Each gam-jeom is accompanied by a different hand/arm gesture (see rules book

for more details)

Other things the referee can pause the match for include:

10 second injury time – if the ref starts counting, they are obliged to finish counting to 8 even

if you have already recovered. In this situation just put your hands up in a fighting position to

show you are ready to continue.

Ill-fitting equipment – you will be given time to readjust any piece of kit which may have been

knocked out of place. If you notice your equipment is coming off, you need to keep fighting

regardless. It is up to the referee to spot this or the coach to call it out.

Things the referee can stop the match for:

Knock outs

Disqualification of a player or their team

You and your coach are NOT allowed to gesture to the referee to pause or stop the fight. If your

coach wishes to end the fight early then they must throw the white towel into the ring.

RoundsThe number and duration of rounds per match is dictated by the competition organisers. This can

range from 2 rounds of 1 minute to 3 rounds of 2 minutes. Check with your coach how many you will

have to do.

A 1 minute Golden point round can be called if both competitors draw at the end of the last round.

The first person to score with any kick or punch or whose opponent concedes two gam-jeoms wins

this round and the rest of the match. At the end of the 1 minute, if it is still a draw, then the winner is

decided by the judges based on superiority (see rule book for more details).

After the first round, a match can always be stopped early if there is a 20-point gap between scores.

The structure of the overall competition can vary with the most common formats being:

Elimination

Round robin

EtiquetteGet your kit on at least a match before your fight. If you appear at your fight without kit you will be

Patterns, destruction and demonstrations

WT poomsae

CategoriesPoomsae categories are divided by belt, age and gender. The higher the category, the more

poomsaes you are expected to learn. There are two main disciplines: traditional poomsae and

freestyle. In each you can compete as an individual, in a pair or as part of a team. You can compete in

as many events as you like appropriate to your belt, age and gender, but cannot enter the same event

twice (e.g. you can’t be part of two U30 teams in one competition).The composition of each events

are:

Individuals: 1 male / 1 female

Mixed Pairs: 1 male and 1 female

Traditional teams: 3 males / 3 females

Freestyle teams: 3 males and 2 females / 3 females and 2 males

Belts are divided into Kup grades and Black belts. Depending on the competition, Kup grades will

either be allocated poomsae or allowed to pick their own. Black belts will be allocated two poomsae

per round.

The most relevant age categories and required poomsae for university level competitions are:

Category Age Required poomsae

Juniors 15-17 years old Taegeuk 6-8, Koryo, Keumgang and Taeback

Under 30s 18-30 years old Taegeuk 6-8, Koryo, Keumgang, Taeback,

Pyongwon, Shipjin

(Individuals) Under 40s 31-40 years old Taegeuk 6-8, Koryo, Keumgang, Taeback,

Pyongwon, Shipjin

(Pairs/teams) Over 30s 31+ years old Taegeuk 6-8, Koryo, Keumgang, Taeback,

Pyongwon, Shipjin

For freestyle you can make up your own poomsae (see below):

Under 17s 12-17 years old

Over 17s 18+ years old

Teams can be made up of any combination of ages

In BSTF competitions, categories are divided by grade:

Class Grade Poomsae

A class 1st kup + (black tag upwards) Taegeuk 6-8, Koryo, Keumgang, Taeback,

9 | P a g e

Pyongwon, Shipjin

B class 6th kup – 2nd kup (green belt to red belt) Pick your own poomsae from Taegeuk 4-7

C class 10th kup – 7th kup (white belt to green

tag)

Pick your own poomsae from Taegeuk 1-3

The poomsae required for each category will be announced at least 2 days before the start of the

competition.

ScoringTraditional poomsae is scored according to accuracy (90%) and performance (10%) via a negative

marking system. When you are on court, the referee will not indicate which poomsae you should be

doing so it’s up to you to memorise which ones you will be performing.

Freestyle is scored on technical skills (60%) and presentation (40%). The player can create their

own routine however, specific movements are sometimes required and all moves must be vaguely

Taekwondo looking. Compulsory movements can vary between competitions but often the list

consists of:

Certain stances

3-5 consecutive

kyorugi kicks

Jumping side kick

Acrobatics + kick

Triple+ front kick

Spinning kick

Freestyle is performed to a track of your own choice from any genre of music however it must be less

than 70 seconds long and cannot contain lyrics or spoken word (i.e. it must be fully instrumental).

The structure of the overall competition can vary so check beforehand which one is being used. The

most common formats are:

Cut-off – competitors perform their poomsae on their own/in their pair or team. They are given

a score at the end of their poomsae. This score is then used to rank players within that

category.

Elimination – two competitors/pairs/teams perform their poomsae concordantly. At the end of

the round, the judges indicate which competitor/s can proceed to the next round. You are not

given a rank until the final round.

For the points system, the number of rounds in each category will depend on the number of

competitors in the category.

Number of competitors Number of rounds

≤ 8 competitors 1 round

Between 8 - 20 competitors 2 rounds:

10 | P a g e

Semi-final - all competitors

Finals - top 8

> 20 competitors 3 rounds:

Round 1 - all competitors

Semi-final - top half

Finals – top 8

Points between rounds do not accumulate. Medals are awarded for the competitors who achieves the

highest score in the finals: gold to 1st place, silver to 2nd place, and bronze to 3rd and 4th places.

ITF patterns

Basic rules and scoring 1 to 1; performed simultaneously

Two designated patterns appropriate to your degree*

Judges shall give from 0 to 10 points for each pattern performance based on the technical content, power, balance, breathing and sine wave

The competitor with the highest obtained points shall go forward to the next round.

In the case of a draw another designated Pattern, from all the remaining patterns, shall be

drawn from a basket or electronically and must be performed. This process repeats until the

winner is decided

*first pattern: your belt level (for black belts, choose one)

second pattern: from pattern Chon-Ji to the level of degree

Etiquette (WT / ITF)Poomsae is all about presentation so ensure you move in a confident manner and your uniform is in a

presentable condition. Before the start of the round, all competitors must register their presence with

the coordinator. After registering it is advised to stay near your allocated court however this not

compulsory. Keep an eye on the running order and go to the standby point on the edge of the mat

while the competitor before you starts performing. Wait there until you are called up.

1. The centre referee will indicate for you to enter. Bow when you enter the court then walk to

your starting point.

2. Stand as you would at the start of class, facing the head table.

3. The referee will call “Cha-ryeot (attention), Kyeong-rye (bow)” and “Joon-bi (ready stance)”.

They will then say “Shi-jak (start)”.

4. At the end of your first poomsae return to the Joon-bi position (the centre referee may or may

not say “Ba-ro (finish)” to indicate this).

11 | P a g e

5. During the break between the two patterns, feel free to tidy up your uniform or talk to your

coach. If you wish to tidy up, bow and then turn your back to the judges. When you are done,

turn to face the judging table and bow to them. Do no leave the court at this point.

6. When you are ready, stand in your relaxed stance again. The referee will call “Cha-ryeot,

Joon-bi” and “Shi-jak”. They will not ask you to bow again.

7. At the end of your final poomsae, return to the Joon-bi position. The referee will then indicate

for you to leave.

8. Bow to the judging table. Exit via the same corner you entered from and bow to the judging

table again when you step off the mat. It is also common place to bow to the next competitor

and wish them luck.

13 | P a g e

Judging and volunteering

Sparring – corner judging and centre refereeing

WT: In all rings, there will be: 2-4 corner judges, 1 central referee, 1 time keeper, 1 head judge and

usually some IT support. Someone can sometimes double up as the time keeper and head judge.

ITF: 2-5 referees (depending on the event), jury (normally 3 senior umpires), 1 central referee, 1 time

keeper, and 1 recorder.

Corner judgingFor student competitions, you do not need a judging qualification to volunteer as a corner judge;

however, attending a judging course beforehand is highly recommended.

You will be assigned a ring and a corner at the beginning of the day. There will be breaks throughout

the day (and sometimes free lunch) but you would be expected to judge for the entire day. This

means that on days you are volunteering, you will not be able to compete (and vice versa).

WT Protocols:

1. When you first enter the ring for the first match, you may be expected to walk to your position

via a standard protocol. Check with your coach if this is necessary for your competition.

2. At your station, stand to attention. The centre ref will lead the bow before indicating to

everyone to take their seats.

3. At your station, you will be given a hand controller for scoring (see below).

4. During the match, if you think there is dispute over a points allocation, raise your hand to draw

the centre ref’s attention. They will then call yourself and the other judges up to confer on the

matter. However, the role of the judges is to score points, not to mediate the fight.

5. Throughout the duration of day, do not leave your seat until the allocated break times.

Hold the scoring controller like a game controller with your thumbs over the top buttons and your

index fingers over the front buttons. Scores are counted if at least 2/3 out of the 3/4 judges press the

same buttons at the same time. The points allocated to each button may vary between competitions

so check your controller’s configuration beforehand.

Top buttons = 1 point

Front buttons = 2 points

3 points are scored by pressing the top then front button in quick succession

4 points are scored by pressing the front button twice.

Chung (blue) is always on your left. Hong (red) is always on your right

For A class competitions using electronic armour, you do not need to press any buttons to score for a

straight kick to the body but you would need to add an extra point if the competitor scored a spinning

body shot. If electronic head guards are not in use, you would also be expected to score head shots.

ITF protocols:

1. As a corner judge, you are allowed to consult with the jury president and centre referee if

required.

2. You’re expected to sit properly (both hands on your lap, feet flat on floor) and observe the

competitors’ actions carefully

3. You may be given a Scoring Point form in which you fill out point(s), warning(s) and foul(s) –

but in student competitions, you will likely only be required to observe the number of points

scored / deducted.

4. At the end of the match, you must raise either one of the blue or red flags (after the count of

three) to indicate who you think is the winner (place both flags across your chest in an ‘X’

formation to indicate a draw).

Central refereeingTo volunteer as a central referee you would be expected to have attended a relevant course. In

summary, the role of a central referee is to mediate the fight and ensure safety for everyone involved.

Poomsae – judging and central refereeing

WT: All poomsae courts will have: 5 or 7 judges, 1 match coordinator and IT support

ITF: 1 Jury President, 1-2 Jury Members, 5 Referees, 1 Recorder

JudgingPoomsae judging is a very technical field thus judges are expected to know the poomsaes themselves

and have a good understanding of how they should be performed. As such, for most competitions

(including student ones), only qualified judges would be expected to judge.

WT: The final score of a round is calculated by first removing the highest and lowest scores on your

accuracy and performance marks. The average of the remaining scores is then used as your overall

score (see the previous poomsae section on more details on scoring).

ITF: The competitor with the highest score will progress to the next round (see poomsae / patterns

section for more details).

Match coordinatorThe match coordinator is there to mediate the competition. You would be expected to

Indicate to the players when to enter the court

1. When the player is at their starting position, give the commends of: “Cha-ryeot (attention)”,

“Kyeon-rye (bow)”, “Joon-bi (ready stance)” and “Shi-jak (start)”

2. At the end of a poomsae call “command (reset)” and “show (relax)”

3. To start the second poomsae, call “Cha-ryeot”, “Joon-bi” and “Shi-jak”

4. When the competitors has finished their last pattern, call “command”, “show” then indicate for

them to leave the court.

Other volunteering rolesYou may be asked to volunteer for other roles in the competition. This may include: weight-in, event

coordinator, chauffeuring and equipment check. Information on your role will be given out by the

competition organisers.

Dieting dos and don’tIF YOU ARE CONSIDERING TO DIET FOR A COMPETITION, CONSULT YOUR COACH FIRST!!

It is recommended to only diet if you are ≤2 kg away from the weight category below your natural

weight. Dieting can have adverse consequences for your health so it is important to set achievable

goals.

Dos Don’ts

Keep your coach informed about your progress Diet in secret

Start early Leave it until the last week

Eat a varied, healthy diet Cut out a whole food group

Lose weight gradually Try and dehydrate excessively

Also check whether weigh-in is on the same day as your matches or the day before. Dieting is

extremely strenuous for the body so you want to be able to give yourself sufficient recovery time

between weigh-in and your fight. If weigh-in is on the same morning as your fight it is recommended

not to be too ambitious with your weight loss.

Tips for dieting:Cut down on sugary foods and snacks

Cut down on carbohydrates (but don’t remove them altogether)

Cut down on saturated fats (again, don’t completely cut out)

Replace sugary drinks with fruit flavoured water

Do regular exercise and stay active even outside training times

Drink loads of water and soups to fill your stomach up

Stop dieting if you feel:Dizzy, light headed or excessively tired

You have a medical condition or fall ill

And:IF YOU THINK YOUR DIETING IS ADVERSLY AFFECTING YOUR MENTAL HEALTH, PLEASE

TALK TO YOUR COACH

At the end of the day competing should be a fun experience so if you’re feeling unusually down,

stressed or that other aspects of your life are suffering, speak to your coach. Doing so does not jeopardise your ability to compete.

If you’d like any more tips on how to diet safely for your competition, feel free to chat with one of the

committee members or your coach.
