    Correct Answer
    A. Move around and follow the action of the sparring trying to maintain a "triangle" with the other judges
    Explanation
    A corner judge should move around and follow the action of the sparring in order to get a complete view of the match. By maintaining a "triangle" with the other judges, they ensure that they have different perspectives and can make fair and accurate judgments. This allows them to assess the performance of both competitors and make informed decisions regarding scoring and penalties. Focusing on the competitor that seems to be the best kicker would be biased and unfair, as it neglects other aspects of the sparring competition.

  • 6. 

    The proper way to physically indicate a call of "no see" when the center judge calls for points in sparring is to do what?

    • Turn your back on the center judge

    • No action is needed

    • Verbally say "no see"

    Correct Answer
    A. Hold the flag out parallel to the floor with the other hand over your eyes
    Explanation
    In sparring, when the center judge calls for points and a player wants to indicate a "no see" call, they should hold the flag out parallel to the floor with the other hand over their eyes. This action signifies that the player did not see the point being scored and disagrees with the center judge's decision. Verbalizing "no see" or turning the back on the center judge are not the correct ways to indicate a "no see" call.

    The correct statement for sparring is that hand techniques may make contact to the body. This means that during sparring, it is allowed to use hand techniques to strike or make contact with the opponent's body. However, it does not specify whether hand techniques can be used towards the head or make contact to the head. Therefore, the correct answer is that hand techniques may make contact to the body.

Do not judge anything after the alotted time
    Explanation
    Weapons free style competitors have 30 seconds. Color belts need to be stopped within a few seconds of the actual 30 second mark. Black belts need to be stopped at the 45 second mark at the most. In either case, only the first 30 seconds are to be judged, and the rest disregarded.

    What is the proper way to indicate you saw an action deserving of a warning?

    • Verbally yell out "Break!"

    • Gently slap the gloved hand of the offending competitor

    • Point the offending competitors flag color to the ground and wave it back and forth

    • Ignore the action

    • Both A and C

    Correct Answer
    A. Both A and C
    Explanation
    The proper way to indicate you saw an action deserving of a warning is to verbally yell out "Break!" and to point the offending competitors flag color to the ground and wave it back and forth. Verbally yelling out "Break!" alerts others to the action and signifies that a warning is needed. Pointing the offending competitors flag color to the ground and waving it back and forth visually indicates the warning and ensures that the competitor is aware of their infraction. Both actions together effectively communicate the warning.

    If two judges call a point for red, but the third judge calls a warning for red, the proper action to take is what?

    • Award red a point because the majority of judges called it

    • Stop time, discuss the warning call, and formally verify or nullify the warning first

    • If warning is nullified, call points for red

    • Both B and C

    Correct Answer
    A. Both B and C
    Explanation
    The proper action to take in this situation is to stop the time, discuss the warning call, and formally verify or nullify the warning first. If the warning is nullified, then the points can be called for red. This is the correct answer because it ensures that the warning call is properly addressed and resolved before any points are awarded. It allows for a fair and thorough evaluation of the situation by all judges involved.

    When resolving ties in form competition, the corner judges should do what?

    • Continue to watch their original assignments (kicks/stances or hand techniques)

    • Watch the overall performance of the repeated form

    • Take a break and the center judge will break the tie

    • Pay close attention to the free-style portion of the tie-breaker

    Correct Answer
    A. Watch the overall performance of the repeated form
    Explanation
    When competitors are doing their forms again after a tie, both corner judges will now be watching EVERYTHING to make their decision in the tie breaker.

    During forms competition, what should Judge A grade?

    • The quality of hand techniques

    • The quality of kicks and stances

    • How correct the form is

    • The overall presentation of the form

    Correct Answer
    A. The quality of kicks and stances
    Explanation
    A good way to remember what Judge A looks at is if you make the letter A with your fingers, they look like little kicking legs. And Judge A will always sit to the left of the center judge when seated. Also remember that during forms, corner judges are only looking at the quality of the techniques performed, not necessarily if its the correct technique in that form or if the competitor leaves out moves.

    • 4

    • 9.1

    Correct Answer
    A. 9.1

    To fill the number of byes needed, the order of selection should be what?

    • State Champs in sparring in ascending order, then World Champs in sparring in ascending order

    • All World Champs, then National Champs, and finally all State Champs next in forms and sparring

    • World Champs in sparring (including National Champs) in descending order, and then State Champs in sparring in descending order

    • All State Champs first in ascending order, then all World Champs in ascending order

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. World Champs in sparring (including National Champs) in descending order, and then State Champs in sparring in descending order
    Explanation
    World and National Champs get priority on byes, with the most recent first. Example: 2009 gets the bye before 2007. After that, State Champs get byes with most recent first. Only patches in sparring count for byes, not forms or weapons. If you have 5 byes to give out, but 7 competitors, then only the most recent in Worlds/Nationals and then State get the bye.
