[edit] New Format for International Wushu Federation(IWuF) Forms (Taolu) Competition
Note: these are the rules as stated by the USAWKF.
[edit] Scoring Categories
The new competition format uses a 10 point scale as before. However, points are now divided into three categories instead of two. The categories are as follows:
- Category 1: Specification of Movement 5 points
- Category 2: Power, Harmony, Rhythm, and Composition 3 points
- Category 3: Degree of Difficulty 2 points
[edit] Judges
Comprised of nine regular judges and one head judge, ten judges will preside over the following:
| Scoring Category | Number of Judges | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Specification of Movement | 3 judges | |
| Power, Harmony, Rhythm, and
Composition – part 1 | 2 judges Only 50% of this category
will be scored by the appointed judges. | |
| Power, Harmony, Rhythm, and
Composition – part 2 | Head Judge | The remaining 50% of this category will be scored by the head judge |
| Degree of Difficulty | 3 judges | New addition to competition rules |
According to the Canadian Wushu Federation, the Degree of Difficulty points are
broken down into two parts with 1.4 for the individual difficulties and .6 for the
combinations ("Connecting Movements").
Difficult movements are classified into three categories A thru C; with category A being the easiest (i.e.; Jump Front Kick) and category C being the hardest (ie.: Butterfly Twist 720). For 2005, Group C difficulties will be treated as a group B (ie. if you do a 720 degree kick you will only receive difficulty points for a 540 degree kick).
[edit] Rules of point allocation
