Any intentional use of an illegal technique, abuse of an official or show of poor sportsmanship will result in immediate disqualification or ejection of the competitor, coach, or spectator.Refereeing is a subjective task, and as such, is prone to personal interpretation, judgment, and human error. Any dispute of match or calls must be made before the next match commences. In the name of fairness, Referee will make all attempts to resolve disputes and disagreements, but REFEREES possess the FINAL authority on all decisions and designations of winners.
The Kimono must be washed and dried with no unpleasant odors. The kimono must be free of tears and of proper length.
Competitors who fail to appear when their name is called will forfeit their match.
In case of victory or even up to 1 lost, please remain at your designated mat until your next match.
