Comments Section 13: Penalties

a.		Mistakes made by the secretariat, regarding score and penalties, should be corrected by the three referees in charge at the mat in question.
b.	1.	Passivity Part 1: One or both contestants do not show any activity with the aim to get points. One or both contestants go directly to part 2 or part 3. One or both contestants do not show combinations before going into the next part. A fighter always goes purposely to the warning area to save time in part 1. Passivity Part 2: If one or both contestants do not show any activity with the aim to get points. If one or both contestants only blocks the attacks or the movement of the opponent or both contestants go down on the mat on purpose. If the contestants refuse to go to part 2 but are active in part 1. A fighter always goes purposely to the warning area to break the grip. A fighter makes a false attack by throwing himself on the ground on purpose, without technique, to break the contact. Passivity Part 3: If one or both contestants do not show any activity with the aim to get points. If a contestant is repeatedly passive after penalties, he can be punished by Chui (Disregarding MR instructions).
	12.	The punishment will be given after the standing bow, and before the fight will be started by "Hajime".
c.	1.	A technique which is stopped by the opponents body / head instead of the attackers being in control of the technique is an example of c1. A technique which causes the head to move due to contact is an example of c1. Techniques that cause bleeding (but not due to re-opening of an existing wound) must be evaluated by the MR and SRs to determine if should be regarded as a penalty per c1 (Forbidden Act) or e1 (Heavy Forbidden Act) based on the situation. Techniques (excluding straight techniques) to the head that merely touch or are within 10cm are valid scoring techniques. Contact to the body is considered "skin-touch" contact. Otherwise, it may be construed as hard contact per c1. Other criterion for c1 that needs to be looked at is if hard contact occurred because the opponent moved into the technique. In this case, there was no intent by the attacker to induce hard contact, and it may be even a penalty of Mubobi to the opponent, if there is precedence of failure to protect one's self, or reckless behaviour.
	2.	Throwing from the main competition area (not in the warning area) to the safety area is not a forbidden act. Throwing from the warning area to the safety area is a forbidden act, if more than half of the thrown person lands outside the warning area. Throwing from the main contest area (not in the warning area) outside the safety area is a forbidden act, if more than half of the thrown person lands outside the warning area.
e.	2.	A throwing technique in combination with a lock or strangulation is not allowed. (e.g. Kote-Geashi counts as a take-down technique).
h.		After a fight means for the whole tournament.
14.	d.	The fighterskeep their points and penalties they already achieved.
