BOUT PROCEDURE The bout will commence with competitors on the start positions each with either a red or a blue waist marker. At the direction of the referee, the contestants bow in turn to the referee, and then to each other. The referee will start the sparring with the command ‘si jak’, the contestants continue to spar until the referee issues the command ‘hye chyo’ in order to call time or to issue an infringement warning. At this point the competitors return to the start positions before the bout is restarted. On completion of time, the timekeeper will ring a bell to warn the referee, but the bout only ends on the final command ‘hye chyo’ by the referee. The competitors are then instructed to bow to each other and then to the referee and await the result.
DURATION International black belt division bouts will be fought over 1 x 2 minute or 2 x 2-minute rounds depending on the event. All coloured belt division bouts will be 1 x 2-minute rounds. Junior and Cadet black belts bouts will be1 x 2-minute rounds.

TIMING. The timekeeper starts the clock at the first ‘si jak’ by the referee. The clock being stopped if the referee indicates time out, to issue a warning or deal with an injury. The clock is again re-started on ‘si jak’ and continues until full time when the bell is rung.
SCORING & RESULT PROCEDURE. The four corner judges will award points as they are seen by using hand held recorders (clickers) these to be clearly marked left hand clicker blue, right hand clicker red. On completion of the bout and after the bowing procedure, the referee will call show, at which time the corner judges will immediately hold in the air the clicker showing the highest score, in the event of a draw, both clickers are held up with the arms crossed. At this point the referee himself will make a decision and then award the bout as either a win or a draw. A win can only be awarded if 3 or more of the 5 judges including the referee award the bout one way. Any less than this majority is awarded as a draw. Should it become apparent that a competitor is being completely dominated by a superior opponent, the referee may after consultation with the corner judges, stop the bout and award a win to the superior competitor. The result being announced as “win by mismatch”.

following offences: i) Stepping out of the area twice (i.e. on the 2nd, 4th, 6th and every other
subsequent occasion). A competitor is considered to have “stepped out” when one full foot fully crosses the perimeter line;
ii) Loss of balance on each occasion (a competitor is considered to have lost balance when any part of the body other than the feet come in contact with the floor);
iii) Grabbing any part of the opponent or their dobok after the referee’s warning;

** NOTE: When points are deducted by the referee the corner judges must calculate this by adding them to the opponents score on their hand-held clickers.
CONTACT & INJURY As detailed previously, excessive contact is penalised but if in the opinion of the referee a competitor steps forward into a technique, which otherwise should have been correctly focused, points will be awarded to the attacker as if it were a ‘decisive blow’.
If a competitor is unable to continue in such a situation, the bout will be awarded to the attacker. In all other cases of unintentional and intentional contact, where a competitor is unable to continue, he/she will be awarded the bout. Subject to the referee’s discretion.

Any competitor who receives 2 official warnings during the entire competition immediately upon receipt of the 2nd official warning WILL be disqualified. The referee must announce to the competitor, corner judges and recorder than an official warning is being given by showing a yellow card. The recorder marks the official warning against the competitor’s name on the competitors list. Then before the start of the next and all subsequent bouts, the recorder will announce that the competitor is carrying an official warning. Disqualification must be announced by the referee who will show a red card to the competitor, corner judges and recorders. The disqualified competitor may also be excluded from the remainder of the competition.
