2.2.

POINT SYSTEM SYSTEM

The Judges are five and will award points on the official EJU scoring sheet. The total score of three Judges will be totaled to produce the final score: the maximum score and the minimum score will be cancelled. Each technique and open and closing ceremonies are evaluated with a maximum positive score of 10 points. The positive score is decreased by mistakes The evaluation of every technique of the Kata has to consider the principle and the opportunity of execution: the evaluation (included the open and close ceremony) has to be global. Definition of mistakes: Forgotten technique score is Zero and the total score of the Kata is halved. If the forgotten technique is more than one, zero score will be given to the technique but the total score will be not halved again. If the halved total value is not a whole number, the score will be rounded up. Big mistake: when the execution of the principle is incorrect (5 points are deducted and the maximum number of crosses is 1) Medium Mistake: when one or more elements of the principle are not applied in the correct way (3 points are deducted and the maximum number of crosses is 1). Small mistake: imperfection in the application of the technique (1 point is deducted and the maximum number of crosses is 2). For every technique without a big mistake, the minimum score has to be 5. The evaluation of fluidity, course and rhythm represents the global vision of the whole Kata (included the rei): If there is no big mistake in the Kata, the minimum result will be 5 and the maximum 10. If there is a big mistake in the Kata (including the rei), the score must not be more than 5. In case of a forgotten technique, the score or fluidity, course and rhythm is zero. In the Nage no Kata, right and left techniques will be evaluated globally (only one score). In case of equal score between pairs, the following criteria will be applied: Total value of big mistakes - wins who makes less mistakes; If still equal, total value of medium mistakes will be considered. - wins the pair who makes less mistakes; If still equal, total value of small mistakes will be considered - wins the pair who makes less mistakes; If still equal, the score of fluidity will decide. Wins the pair who has a better score. If two pairs are both placing 3 place after the above mentioned criteria, the kata will be repeated in order to assign the medal.
