  • GAMES  (Shoulder/knee tag + Gladiator Clash) events at this tournament will be available for competitors aged 11 yrs & under.  However, please note that competitors must choose to compete in EITHER the Kumite divisions OR Games at this tournament, not both.  Medals will be awarded for the Kata and Kumite events (1st, 2nd, 3rd).  Certificates will be awarded for the Games events.

    1. Shoulder & Knee Tag (GAME)

    Competition Area:    8 x 8 mats

    Bout Duration:         1:30 mins (or first to 3 points)

    Bout Operation:        The bout will commence when the referee calls begin and will stop when the referee or judge signal a score and the referee calls stop. The referee will then announce the point and or warning and the bout will resume. The winner will be the contestant with the most points at the end of the match, the contestant that reaches three points first or the opponent of a disqualified contestant. When announcing the winner the referee will signal in the same manner as Kumite (kachi).  In case of a draw the referees will stand back, and at the signal of the centre referee will signal their preference - the competitor with most votes will be the winner.

    Scoring techniques:  1 Point will be awarded for a clean tag to the shoulder or knee - meaning a technique which hits the target and is executed in a sharp manner. 1 point will be awarded using the Kumite hand signal.

    Warnings & Penalties:  Any contact to the head or face or neck.  Falling on the ground to prevent being scored upon.  Exiting the competition area.

    The Category 2 Kumite warning will be used for this warning & or penalty signal.

    2. Gladiator Clash (GAME)

    Competition Area:   3 x 3mats

    Bout Duration:  1:30 mins (or first to 3 points)

    Bout Operation:     Competitors will use provided impact shields to force each other out of a designated area.  Competitors will score one point if any part of their opponents body or shield touches the mat outside the bout area.  A bout is won through being first to score 3 points, or having the highest score at the end of time.  In case of a draw the referees will stand back, and at the signal of the centre referee will signal their preference - the competitor with most votes will be the winner.

    Once a competitor falls to the ground the referee will stop the bout, the bout will restart on the referees signal, once both competitors are standing.  A competitor will ONLY be able to fall 3 times, on the third fall, the other competitor will be awarded the decision and will become the winner of the bout.  Competitors, swinging the pad, using other parts of the body to push or repeatedly charging will be warned and/or disqualified at the discretion of the referee.
