Celotto                                                       (04/95)</B></div> <bR> <div> 1.  With regard to the placement of the judges' chairs on the Competition Area.  Which of the following responses is correct?</div> <div> a. The back judges (lateral referee) chair should be to the right rear of the referee, the front to the left.</div> <div>  b.  There is no standard placement. The placement of the judges chairs is predicated on other       needs, i.e,  safety, observation from joseki and functionality.</div> <div>  c.  The back judges chair (lateral referee) should be to the left rear of the referee, the front to the right.</div> <div>      d.    None of these responses are adequate, I will clarify in on the attached </div> <div>             page.</div> <bR> <div> 2.  Can a contestant wear only one shoulder bar (brassard), the 5cmx25cm patch on the top of the shoulder.</div> <div>      a.  Yes!</div> <div>      b.  No, must wear both!</div> <bR> <div> 3.  What parameters do you as a referee utilize when determining if a contestant's belt is too loose?</div> <div> a.  When the width of your hand can be placed between the belt and the contestant's judogi.</div> <div> b.  When the width of your two fingers can be placed between the belt and the contestant's  judogi.</div> <div>      c.   When the knot of the belt is below the line of the belt.</div> <div> d.   When the referee feels that the looseness of the belt will  provide an unfair advantage to either of the contestants.</div> <div> e.   When the belt falls off.  The contestants have the option to wear their belt however they wish as long as the IJF rules are adhered to.</div> <bR> <div> 4.   Is any type of headgear allowed to be worn by either player? Wrestling head protection is made of hard plastic and is basically designed to protect the ears.  This type of headgear is not allowed.  However, if a contestant comes to the competition area with a one piece, form fitting head protection device (made of 1" thick sealed resolite) with no snaps or hard  plastic pieces, under what conditions should he be allowed to compete.</div> <div> a.  With a doctor's note stating that he had a head injury and that he can play</div> <div>      only if he wears this head protection device.</div> <div>      b.  Never.</div> <div>      c.  Only if the referee and judges examine the head gear and feel it is not</div> <div>            hard or metallic.</div> <div>      d.  Only if the Referee Commission for that event has approved the head         </div> <div>           protection device.</div> <div>      e.  Only if the other contestant is provided a similar device.</div> <bR> <div> 5.  With regard to the attachment of patches, and logos to the jacket of the Judogi.  Can the contestant have a Judogi jacket which has the manufacturer's logos on each of the upper arms of the jacket AND on the bottom left side of the jacket?</div> <div>      a.  Yes</div> <div>      b.  No                                                                                CELOTTO</div> <bR> <bR> <div> IJF RULE CLARIFICATION INVENTORY       -2-                           NUMBER ONE</div> <bR> <div> 6.   With regard to the markings on the back of the jacket of the judogi.  What </div> <div>      are the size  parameters allowed?</div> <div> a.  The logo on the back can be 30cm (12") x 30cm (12"), within this logo, the top  7cm(2.75") can bare the name of the contestant, the middle 11 cm (4.25") can bear the contestants three letter country code, and the bottom 7cm can bare the championships sponsor's name.</div> <div>      b. The markings on the back may include the name of the contestant 7cm    </div> <div>           (2.75") high and 30 cm long, 3cm (1.25") below the collar and 4cm (1.50")   </div> <div>           below that the 30cm x 30cm logo, which would include in the center the </div> <div>           olympic abbreviation 11cm high, and on the bottom the championships</div> <div>          sponsor's name 7cm (2.75") high.</div> <div>      c. In the United States we allow the name 7cm x 30cm above  a patch or </div> <div>          logo, and a patch which can be any size up to 30cm  x 30 cm which is a</div> <div>          club, state, or National  patch.  It can't be any commercial advertising </div> <div>          unless approved by the Tournament Organizing Committee.</div> <div>      d. B and C are correct.</div> <div>      e. A and C are correct.</div> <bR> <div> 7.   Do you feel that there should be limitation on the use of body padding?  </div> <div>       This has nothing to  do with taping.</div> <div>      a.  Only knee and elbow padding should be allowed.</div> <div>      b.  Only padding which is authorized by the Referee Committee at each</div> <div>            event.</div> <div> c.  Any padding is allowed as long as the proper judogi size parameters are within the specified rules.</div> <div>      d.  Knee, elbow, wrist, shin and ankle padding should be allowed.</div> <div>      e.  None of the above are adequate.  See attached sheet for comments.</div> <bR> <div> 8.   When a penalty is given, when should the referee resume the contest?</div> <div>  a.   After the penalty and the appropriate scores have been displayed on the</div> <div>        scoreboard. </div> <div>  b.  Immediately after the award of the penalty. This is done in order not to delay the contest and disturb the contestants fighting spirit even further.The changes on the scoreboard can  be changed while the contest is being fought. The referee can check to see if it was recorded correctly during the next break in the action.</div> <div>      c.  None of the above are adequate.  See attached sheet for comments.</div> <bR> <div> 9.   The referee calls yuko, the front judge waves the score off because she feels it was so satsu, the rear judge agrees with the referee.  After 10 seconds, the rear judge stands and indicates to the scoreboard.  The front judge stands as she should to get the referee's attention.  The referee stops the contest and calls a conference.  The rear judge got up because the yuko was on the board for red/blue, he thinks white did the throw.  The referee thought red/blue did the yuko and thinks the score on the board is correct.  How should this situation be resolved?(233)</div> <div>      a.  The referee's decision stands as all three officials are not in agreement.</div> <div>      b.  The Yuko should be removed from the board.           </div> <div>      c.  Either the back judge or the referee must change their opinion as to who </div> <div>           did the throw.</div> <div>      d.  None of the above are adequate.  See attached sheet for comments.  </div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div>                     CELOTTO</div> <bR> <div> IJF RULE CLARIFICATION INVENTORY        -3-                          NUMBER ONE</div> <bR> <bR> <div> 10.  During the course of a contest, the contestant's moved quickly to a judge's corner, and a throw is executed and the judge becomes landed upon and is injured seriously enough to be taken by ambulance from the venue.  How is the contest to proceed? </div> <div> a.   Find another official  who was watching the contest and place him in the injured judges'  chair.</div> <div> b.  Remove the injured judges' chair from the competition area and continue the contest with the referee and one judge.</div> <div> c.   Declare the contest Hiki wake, due to an outside influence, replace the injured judge and have the contestants restart a new contest immediately.</div> <div> d.   Declare the winner of the contest with the scores acquired up to that point.</div> <div> e.   Penalize the responsible contestant for the injury of a fellow referee, unless you didn't like      him or he wasn't very good.</div> <bR> <div> 11.  A referee calls and indicates a score when a throw is executed and </div> <div>        deliberately turns their head in order to see if the judges agree, this head </div> <div>        turning is referred to as "intentional looking".  Is this an acceptable </div> <div>          behavior?</div> <div>      a. Only when the referee sees a sitting judge with a signal up.</div> <div>      b. Never</div> <div>      c. When ever the referee feels it is necessary</div> <div>      d. Only when the referee is unsure of their call.</div> <div>      e.  None of these responses are adequate enough.  I will explain on the</div> <div>            attached paper.</div> <bR> <div> 12. The rules specifically state that the referee should generally stay inside the contest area.  Not as stringent as the rule previously it still limits the referees positioning in some instances.         What are your thoughts?</div> <div> a.  That we should follow the rule as stated and that the referee should utilize their judgment on a case by case basis.</div> <div> b.  Lenience should be allowed for the referee to put himself in the best position his judgment dictates as long as he doesn't leave the competition area.</div> <div> c.  None of these responses are adequate enough.  I will explain on the attached paper.</div> <bR> <div> 13.  The referee and judges have to have a conference. What do you feel is the best form to take?</div> <div> a.  The referee standing at his starting position and the judges slightly in front of the referee, facing each other.</div> <div> b.  The referee standing at his starting position and the judges standing to each side of the  referee all facing joseki.</div> <div> c.   It doesn't matter how they stand, as long they can hear each other during the conference.</div> <div> d.  The referee and judge should go to the senior judges' chair who remains seated and have the discussion.</div> <div> e.  The referee and judges should huddle in a circle and place their arms around each other's shoulders and at the end of the conference the referee should yell "break".</div> <div>                                                    </div> <div> 14.    The referee calls yuko and both judges indicate koka. What is the proper </div> <div>           procedure in dealing with this situation?</div> <div>       a.  When the judges agree they should remain seated, so when the referee quarter turns he will see the seated judge with the koka signal, he will then turn his head "intentional  looking" or body in order to observe the other judge to see if he also has a koka up, he would then change the yuko to koka.</div> <div>       b.  When the judges agree they should immediately stand up with the koka signal.  When the     referee quarter turns the yuko and observes the standing judge with koka, he knows        immediately  that the other judge has agreed to koka and the referee need not waste time        to check the other judge, he would immediately make his correction.</div> <div>            c.    Neither of these methods is proper.  I have expanded on the attached</div> <div>             sheet of paper.</div> <bR> <div> 15.  A throw occurs and the referee calls yuko and the judges call koka, but the contestants go to ne-waza and the action is very fast and critical, there are instances when the referee doesn't take the time to check the judges, not even the standing judges.  What should the judges do?</div> <div>      a.   Remain standing with the changed signal until the fast action ne-waza </div> <div>            is over.</div> <div> b.   Follow the stated rules and one of the judges should approach the referee and gain his attention, so that the change can be completed.</div> <div> c.   The judges after having stood, recognize that the referee is fully concentrating on the fast action ne-waza, and the judges knowing that if one of them approaches it may frighten the referee and he might call matte in error (which has  happened on many occasions), should sit back down until the there is a break in the action, and then stand to have a conference about the change.</div> <div> d.   The judges after having stood, recognize that the referee is fully concentrating on the fast action ne-waza, and the judges knowing that if one of them approaches it may startle the referee and he might call matte in error (which has happened on many occasions), should sit back down until there is a break in the action, and then stand with the corrected gesture so that the referee can correct the score board.</div> <div>      e.  None of these responses are adequate enough.  I will explain on the </div> <div>           attached paper.</div> <bR> <div> 16.  Can a judge, seeing something he knows is wrong STAND by himself without the agreement of the other judge?</div> <div>      a.  Yes!  It better be for a very valid reason.</div> <div>      b.  No!   He must get the other judges agreement before standing.</div> <bR> <div> 17.  A throw is executed on the edge and the uke lands in the safety area. What should the  referee do if the referee is sure the throw was in?</div> <div>      a.  Wait for the judges input on  "in or out"  before calling the score.</div> <div>           This shows team work.</div> <div>  b.  Call the score immediately and deal with the judges' difference of opinion after the score has been awarded. </div> <div> c.   Call the score immediately and if the judge indicates the throw was out, wave off the score.</div> <div> d.  This should be handled on a case by case basis.</div> <div> e.  This is a case where the referee must use his judgment to determine the best course of action.                                                   CELOTTO</div> <bR> <div> IJF RULE CLARIFICATION INVENTORY      -5-                            NUMBER ONE</div> <bR> <div>  18.  The referee calls a yuko that both judges signal koka. Before the referee sees the standing judges the contestants get immediately up off the ground and the same contestant throws his opponent with ippon.  What are the judges to do?</div> <div>        a.   Drop the koka signals and sit down immediately. The ippon nullifies </div> <div>              the koka, and if they remain standing with the koka, the referee might</div> <div>               think the ippon should be to koka.</div> <div>        b.  Drop the koka signals but remain standing.  The referee will have to call</div> <div>             a conference at which the judges will inform the referee that he should </div> <div>             change the yuko to a koka before awarding the win.  This should be </div> <div>             done for accurate contest statistics.</div> <div>        c.  None of these responses are adequate enough.  I will explain on the</div> <div>               attached paper.</div> <bR> <div> 19   The blue contestant throws for a yuko, the referee calls koka, as the judges stand with their yuko signals, the tori is moving in for kesa gatame.  What should be the proper response?   </div> <div>         a.  The referee should change the koka to yuko, then indicate Osaekomi.</div> <div>         b.  The referee should call Osaekomi, keeping the koka up, then change the koka to yuko in the proper fashion, so there is no time lost in the Osaekomi.</div> <div>         c.  The referee should call Osaekomi, then redo the koka signal without voice and then change it to yuko in the proper fashion</div> <div>        d.  The judges should not stand with their correction until after the </div> <div>             Osaekomi has been called.</div> <div>        e.  None of these are correct.  See attached sheet.</div> <bR> <div> 20.  The blue contestant has a waza-ari.  The red/blue contestant throws his opponent, the referee calls ippon.  Both judges feel it is waza-ari. Not even close to an ippon.  What should the judges do?</div> <div> a.  The judges should signal waza-ari and stand, so that the referee changes the mistaken ippon to waza-ari awasete ippon.  This is another case of accuracy of the contest record.</div> <div> b.  The judges should have the presence of mind to not signal anything because the red/blue contestant has won the contest by ippon in either case, and to make the referee change would be inefficient, confusing and silly looking.</div> <div>        c.  None of these responses are adequate enough.  I will explain on the </div> <div>             attached paper.</div> <bR> <div> WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW</div> </td> </tr></table></body>
