If a substantial amount of time elapses, the clock should be stopped, and should resume when the referee restarts the bout. The referee should indicate to the timekeeper that he/she wishes the time to be stopped and then again indicate when the time should be resumed.

When the limit for the match expires without either competitors having lost by a technical knockout (TKO), or a Referee Stopped Contest (RSC), the Referee shall require both competitors to return to the positions (or Match Lines) taken at the start of the match. The Referee will then gather the scorecards, and verify that they have been filled out according to the rules. The Referee shall return any invalid card to the erring Judge and see that the mistake is corrected. The Referee will then hand the cards to the jury or announcer, and wait for the official decision to be announced. The competitors may not remove any of the protective gear except the head guard after the time limit has expired, in case an overtime round is necessary. Section 4

A judgment of Draw (“Patas”) shall be made when neither competitor has been able to win the match according to the rules of scoring. In the event of a draw, the winner of the contest will be determined by a single extension round of one (1) minute. Section 5 The following acts shall be prohibited:

Section 6 Legitimate strikes or blows include cut or slash, wrist-snapping or flicking (witik, kurbada), abaniko (fan), etc. Thrusting, butting (punyo), and foot sweeps have been legal in the past, but have been eliminated because the protective gear is presently not sufficient to allow these techniques to be used safely. Improvement in the protective equipment may result in the reinstatement of these techniques. Two-handed strikes are prohibited. Section 7 Any competitor guilty of a prohibited act may be penalized by a reduction of points in scorecard or by disqualification. The Referee should follow the guidelines when enforcing prohibited acts.

1st infraction – casual warning (usually verbal, within the flow of the match) 2nd infraction – official warning (match is stopped and judges are notified) 3rd infraction – point deduction (match is stopped and judges are notified) 4th infraction – 2nd point deduction (match is stopped and judges are notified) 5th infraction – disqualification

Any competitor who loses by disqualification may be subject to additional sanction by PEKAF, including possible suspension from succeeding PEKAF events or permanent expulsion depending on the degree of the culpability or seriousness of the offense.

System of Scoring for Full-Contact Live Stick Continuous

Section 1 Scoring shall be on the basis of the following:

a) The competitor who scores more hits to the head, hands, and all other legitimate target areas.

b) The competitor who scores more powerful hits to the head, hands, and all other legitimate target areas.

c) When a competitor loses his stick (Disarm or Agaw) through other than foul means. In scoring, the elements of offense, defense, clean hitting, ring generalship, techniques, sportsmanship shall be carefully considered. Aggressiveness also earns credit.

8


Section 2 Scoring shall be done using the “10 point must” system. The winner of the round is always awarded 10 points (prior to deductions), while the loser receives anywhere from 9 to 7 points, depending on how decisively the round was won. The “10 points must” system of scoring is applied as follows:

Slight Edge 10 – 9 Wide Edge 10 – 8 One Sided 10 – 7

Most reasonably competitive rounds are scored “10-9”. A “10-8” round is usually the result of one competitor dominating consistently for the entire round, or possibly a clean victory in addition to a Disarm. A “10-7” round is very rare, and should only be scored when a competitor has his arms at his sides, is being hit constantly, and is almost unable to defend him/herself. It could also result from a round in which a competitor is disarmed two (2) times. The use of foul strikes, foul tactics, or other prohibited acts can result in a one-point penalty, at the discretion of the Referee. If a point is to be deducted, the Referee should stop the action and advise the Judges of the point to be deducted immediately after the commission of the foul. For each round, the Judge scores according to the rules, then applies any deductions assigned by the Referee. Section 3

Judgement for the winner of the match shall be made on the following conditions: a.)Win by Points On completion of the three rounds of the match, each Judge will total the score on his card for each of the two competitors. The winner will be the competitor with the highest point total for three rounds. If the point totals are equal, the judge will score the match as a draw on his/her card. The winner of the match will be determined according to the cards of the three (3) Judges as follows:

Win-Lose-Draw Unanimous decision 3-0-0 Majority Decision 2-0-1 Split Decision 2-1-0 Majority Draw 1-0-2 Draw 0-0-3 Draw 1-1-1

b.) Win by Technical Knockout (TKO) The contest is terminated and judged a Technical Knockout (TKO) when:

i) An overwhelmingly one-sided match. If, in the opinion of the Referee, a competitor is totally outclassed or is receiving excessive punishment, the bout shall be stopped and the opponent will be declared the winner.

9


ii) Injury. If a fighter, in the opinion of the Referee, is unfit to continue because of injury or other physical reasons, the bout shall be stopped and the opponent will be declared the winner. The right to make the decision rests with the Referee, who may consult with the available qualified medical personnel. After consultation, the Referee must follow the medical advice. When medical personnel are called into the ring, only the medical person and the Referee shall be present inside the ring. The medical personnel have the right to request that the bout be stopped, if, for medical reasons, a competitor appears to be unfit to continue.

iii) A competitor’s refusal to continue or a voluntary surrender. If a competitor wishes to surrender, he/she must notify the Referee by raising both hands and backing up, but must not turn his/her back.

iv) Disarm. When a competitor is disarmed a total of three (3) times within the course of the match, a TKO results. It should be noted that the fourth (4) round is considered as part of the match and therefore the three (3) disarm rule applies to all rounds, including the extension round, as the whole match. c.) Win by disqualification

If a competitor is disqualified, his opponent shall be declared the winner. If both competitors are disqualified, the decision shall be announced accordingly. A disqualified competitor shall not be entitled to any prize, medal, or honorable award, relating to any stage of the competition in which he has been disqualified. Any competitor who loses by disqualification may be subject to additional sanction by PEKAF, including possible suspension from future PEKAF events or by expulsion. d.) No contest

The Referee may terminate a match at any time due to events that are outside the control of the competitors, such as the ring becoming damaged or slippery, failure of the lighting system, etc. Under the conditions, the bout shall be declared “No Contest “. In this case, the Tournament Officials will decide the new course of action. e.) Win by Walkover or Default

When a competitor presents himself in the ring fully attired for the match at the prescribed time, and his opponent fails to appear within three minutes after his name has been properly announced, the Referee shall declare the competitor who is present as the winner. The Referee shall first inform the Judges to mark their scorecards accordingly, collect them, and then summon the competitor to the center of the ring. He/She shall be announced as the winner. Section 5

In the event that a competitor cannot continue the match because of injury, the result of the match shall be determined by the following conditions:

a)When the cause of the competitor’s injuries is by any means except a foul blow or technique, the injured shall be the loser.

b)When the cause of the competitor’s injuries is the result of a foul blow or technique, the opponent shall be the loser.

10


Section 6

A competitor is considered “disarmed” when:

a) A clean disarming technique is applied and the opponent’s stick is taken from him. The disarming technique must be applied in two (2) seconds or less, and must not involve the locking of any joint.

b) A competitor loses control of the stick and it hits the ground. If the stick is lost, but is caught before it hits the ground, no disarm is recorded. The Referee determines whether the disarm is to be scored as valid by the Judges. He/she shall stop the match and inform each judge of the decision, replace the stick and restart the match. When a player is disarmed, a one (1) point deduction will be given to him/her and must be reckoned after the end of the particular round it occurred. Section 7

Judgement of a Draw (Patas) shall be made when a neither competitor has been able to win at least two (2) of the Judge’s cards. In this case, a single extension round is held, the winner of which will be the winner of the match. (The scoring of the first three rounds is deemed obsolete, with the exception of the points that have been deducted for foul play, and the number of disarms that have occurred. For example, a third disarm which occurs in the overtime round still results in a TKO. Similarly, a disqualification can occur for an infraction for which points have already been deducted). In the extension round, each Judge must determine a winner (i.e., a score of 10-10 is not allowed). This is done by a simultaneous show of hands upon the call of the Referee.
