The following are alterations to the current rules to be tested at the WC Junior Bangkok ’08.Scoring
The number of scores will be reduced to: YUKO, WAZA-ARI and IPPON.
Timing in Osaekomi-Waza
The time for Osaekomi will be reduced up to 20 seconds.
10 sec. = Yuko
15 sec. = Waza-ari
20 sec. = Ippon.
Scale of Penalties
The scale of penalties is reduced to 3 Shidos:
1. Shido = YUKO for opponent.
2. Shido = Waza-ari for the opponent.
3. Shido = Ippon for the opponent.
(the third Shido obviously means Hansoku-make)
Golden Score
The “Golden Score” will be reduced to 3 minutes only.
Border Line Rule
All actions may continue (no Mate) as long as either contestant has some part of the body touching the contest area.
Penalties for NEGATIVE Judo
Further, referees have been asked to strictly enforce the following penalties on NEGATIVE Judo. A shido will be given for:
* A refusal of Kumi-Kata grasp
* Blocking with repulsing (where the blue contestant pushes in a blocking position) and/or with crushing.
* Overly defensive posture.
* Taking a hold of a trouser leg to block an attack.
* Falling onto the back or dropping to one's knees without unbalancing (where there is no action or intention of projection).
* Borat style mankini's.
Ha ha. Like the addition of the Borat Mankini's
ReplyDeleteAnyways, what's all this shido stuff with gripping? It's almost impossible not to get a shido...
It is going to be interesting to see how these rules play out. Our Ojiji team will hopefully get an insight into how the Japanese interpret and apply these rules at the Master's in Akita. Will report back soon!
ReplyDeleteAre the new IJF rules available for download anywhere?
ReplyDeleteLove the Borat style mankini... classic!
A report on the trial of the new rules can be found here: http://www.intjudo.eu/?Menu=News&Action=Full&type_id=1&id=149&lang_id=2&mid=4. So far it seems all good.
