Congratulations to All.. very well done indeed :))
Here are the rules and requirements.
Within the structure of the Matches the rules are simple:
There will be 3 Referees plus recorder and timekeeper, in some instances we appreciate that it may not be possible to have experienced personnel, no matter this is a complete learning process - Shiai and Refereeing and Organisation… so this is a practical hands on experience and a learning curve
All refereeing results will stand
2 or 3 minute bouts for 2 points
There is no restriction on grades competing i.e. Kyusha can fight Yudansha, however points will be awarded in favour of the Kyusha using a 'handicap' system. Where this is a grade differential between fighters: certain points will be allowed for each such match as follows:
Kyusha to any Dan grade - 1 point.
Shodan to Nidan - 0 point.
Nidan to Sandan - 0 point.
Shodan to Sandan - 1 point
Matches will be recorded: Fighters grades, Results: Win or lose to the individual and total points scored. The points will be the deciding factor, so not only do you have to win or draw you have to do it with the maximum points possible in order to progress on the League table. Usually wins then points decide the order but as we operate a 'handicap' system, points give the placement and wins will decide a tie.
At the end of each year Trophy's and prizes will be awarded.
