· The evaluation system applies analogously to Kumite. Two kata runners compete against each other in each round. First Shiro (white) and then Aka (red) runs his kata. The five judges use flag scoring
to decide who will move on to the next round. There is no draw, but always a decision by the judges. However, the kata may be started a second time if the kata runner gets lost the first time. Starting a second time has a corresponding influence on the judges' rating.

· Compulsory and free kata
The compulsory kata must be run in the first and second rounds, in the following rounds, the free kata, whereby each free kata can be performed as often as desired.

· Competition list
Each competitor is randomly assigned to another competitor. There may be byes.

· Ranking
The fight for the third place (small final) will be held.

· Referee
The judges consist of a team of 1 main judge and 4 corner judges. The main judge gives the appropriate commands. The kata runner who receives more flag decisions in his favor advances
to the next round.
