GENERAL
RULES
Dress
Code:
The Taiji Legacy is a formal event. All competitors
are required to dress appropriately. Competitors
may wear traditional Chinese martial arts uniforms
(preferred), or pants appropriate for the Chinese
martial arts plus a school T-shirt or an event
T-shirt. The competition committee reserves
the right to make the final judgements on appropriate
attire. Karate-type Gi’s are NOT considered
appropriate, and are not permitted. Shoes are
mandatory for all events, except for light contact
sparring and Shuai Chiao. All shoes should be
regular athletic type shoes. No regular street-type
shoes are permitted.
Procedures:
All competitors will be called to the ring at
least 10 minutes before the beginning of the
event. If a competitor should have an obligation
in another ring, he or she must at this time
tell ring official/chief judge so they can readjust
the competing order to accomodate the competing
obligations.
Competing:
When the official sees that all is ready, he
or she will call the first competitor and announce
for the next 2 competitors to prepare. When
the competitors name is called to compete, he/she
will approach the ring and salute to the main
official and wait for permission/signal from
the ring-official/chief judge to begin. Judges
will be observing as soon as the competitor’s
name is called.
Upon receiving the signal to begin from the
ring-official/chief judge , the competitor will
walk to the starting position within the ring.
At no point should the competitor speak with
any judge or official. This should be done before
the event begins. Once the beginning position
is found, the competitor will stand perfectly
still at attention, showing judges and timekeepers
that the form is ready to begin. The time clock
will begin at the first sign of movement from
this attention position. The time clock will
stop when the form is finished and the competitor
returns to a stationary and relaxed position.
Upon completion, the competitor will again walk
to the same place he/she entered the ring and
face the judges and officials once again at
attention. At this time, the score for the competitor
will be given.
After receiving his/her final score, the competitor
will acknowledge the score by saluting the ring
official/chief judge. Only now is the competitor
finished with his/her form and may leave the
ring area.
Scoring:
Scoring will be based on performance & level
by individual judges. The ranges for levels
are as follows:
•
beginner: 6.5 - 7.5
• intermediate: 7.5 - 8.5
• advanced: 8.5 - 9.5
• very advanced: 9.5 - 9.99
5
scores will be given in which the highest and
lowest score will be dropped to calculate the
final score. In the event of a tie score, all
5 scores will be utilized. In case of another
tie, both athletes shall receive the same awards.
Awards:
All awards for competition will be given immediately
upon completion of each event. 1st, 2nd, and
3rd place medals will be awarded to the top
3 competitors of each event in the General Competition.
Two 3rd place rankings will be awarded in all
Reaction Skills events. All first time competitors
will receive only 1 award and a certificate
for the one or two events they compete in. Grand

of the tournament. The criteria for Grand Champion
awards are listed in the information packet.
Re-performing:
Any
performer may begin his or her form again, without
