4. The Game. 1 Poomse Two players perform a styleform, like saju or taeguk. Judging is done as at regular style matches with at last three and a maximum of five judges. The judges determine a winner by raising a red or blue card. Points Winner Loser 1 point 0 points This poule will be dealt with in total. 2. WTF-sparring. Two players compete against each other in a sparring match. A match consists of one round, lasting at the most 1 minute and 30 seconds. The rules for scoring are the same as in a regular match, with the difference that the judge can correct the players verbally. Judging is done as at regular sparring matches by one head referee and three corner referees. The corner referees determine a winner by raising red and blue cards.

These kicks are: Twio ap-chagi Twio yeop-chagi Dubon tollyo-chagi (left/right) The time in which this is done, determines the winner.. The referee will hold the target. When a kick is invalid they will tell the player. One invalid kicks means one second will be added to the total time. Two invalid kicks means two seconds will be added and three seconds will be added for three invalid kicks. The pair with the fastest track time will get 1 point while no points will be given for the other pair. 5.

9. Reward system. It is very convenient to use the point-appreciation system of the so called vanen tournament. Every player gets five points for every game played. For every point scored his or her team gets another five points. And every player of the winning team get five bonus points This way a player can get 25 points per game.
