MAJOR RULE CHANGES FOR 2014
USAT Rules (
HTML http://www.teamusa.org/~/media/USA_Taekwondo/
Documents/Competition%20Rules/USAT_Rules_Revise_Feb_6_13.pdf)
will
be used for all sparring matches WITH THE FOLLOWING CHANGES due
to
new WTF rules and interpretations:
Terminology:
1) "Knock Out" is now "Referee Stops Contest"
2) "Sudden Death" is now "Golden Point"
Prior to match
1) Maximum of 3 layers of taping is allowed on hands or feet.
Only the
commission doctor has the authority to sign off more taping.
2) Any manipulation of the PSS system prior to or during a match
WILL
result in DISQUALIFICATION. Further sanction may also be taken
by the
USAT
Match management
1) Time will stop one second after the Referee calls Kalyeo
EXCEPT in the
case of an 8-count. Time will run during an 8-count
2) When the Referee begins an 8-count s/he will continue the
count. If
the Judges have not scored the attack the Referee will call
Shigan if
the player is able to continue by the count of 8. If no Judge
stands to
request a conference the Referee will request a Video Review.
3) If a player falls in pain but there is no clear injury
(blood, broken
bones) the Referee will call Kalyeo and instruct the player to
Stand Up.
The Referee will repeat the instruction twice at 3-second
intervals. If
the player refuses to stand up the match will be awarded to the
other
player. The Referee may change the call to Kye-shi at any time
an
injury becomes apparent. A player who gains rest time by slowly
standing within the time limit may be given a Kyung-go
4) Video Review Failure. If the video does not record a
challenged action
due to technical issues or operator error the request shall be
denied
but the challenge card will be returned to the coach and the
quota will
remain unchanged
Golden Point Round- Determining Superiority
1) There will be ONE Golden Point Round
2) If neither player scores during the Golden Point Round the
Superior
player will win. Superiority will be determined by:
1) The player recorded the most hits during the Golden Point
Round,
regardless of power. If that number is tied then
2) The player with the fewest Penalties during ALL four rounds.
If that
does not break the tie then
3) Referee and Judges vote using standard Superiority Criteria
Prohibited Acts
1) A player will lose the match if s/he accumulates any
combination of
Kyung-gos and Ganjeoms equalling FIVE points
2) A player MAY communicate to the coach to request IVR
3) Lifting a leg without attacking for more than 3 seconds will
result in a
Kyung-go. This includes lifting the leg and hopping on the other
leg for
more than 3 seconds and lifting leg and doing cut kick action
without
actual attacking for more than 3 seconds.
4) A player who falls WILL receive a Kyung-go unless:
1) The players clash and they BOTH fall down
2) The Referee gives an 8-count to the fallen player
3) The player fell due to the illegal act of his/her opponent
5) If a player kicks at a downed opponent and makes contact s/he
will
receive a Gamjeon. If no contact is made s/he will receive a
Kyung-go
6) If a player kicks after Kalyeo and makes contact s/he will
receive a
Gamjeon. If no contact is made s/he may receive a Kyung-go.
7) Intentionally kicking below the waist is a Gamjeon

The lifting leg section is open for a lot of interpretation. It
will be interesting to see how this is applied at the USAT and
for that matter ring to ring. The matter of falling down is
also going to be interesting. It will be extra important to
know the rules this year also observing each ring and seeing how
the calls are going. I have talked to several referees (IR's/A
Class included)and they all seem to have different
interpretations of these rules (leg lifting/falling down). The
referee/coaches seminars are going to be very important.

Interpretations on falling seem to change every other year.

I get the rule changes trying to keep the flow of the match
going with the falling down rule.
