Page 3 of 3 Ippon : arm straight up Waza-ari : arm out at shoulder level Yuko: arm 45 degrees out from the side Koka: arm against the side; hand in a sort of stop or greeting signal The contest area is a square eight meters long on each side. The outer meter (“danger area”) is red and is inside the playing area, but competitors can only remain in that area for a few seconds before attempting a throw or they will be penalized. There is a three-meter “safety area” in which a player can be thrown as long as the thrower remains inside the contest area. There should be one or two scoreboards to show the state of play. Because in Judo it is always the highest quality score that wins, the scoreboard is laid out left to right to show the scores like 3-digit number. | Waza-Ari | Yuko | KoKa | Medical | | Shido3 | Shido2 | Shido1 | | BLUE | 0 | 3 | 1 | + + | WHITE | 1 | 0 | 0 | + | | Shido3 | Shido2 | Shido1 | |
Looked at in this way, the score is 100 to 31: White's single waza-ari beats the lesser quality of Blue's 3 yukos and 1 koka. Other features of the scoreboard are as follows: The Ippon score is not shown on the scoreboard because there can only be 1 Ippon and scoring it ends the bout. If two waza-ari's are scored by the same person it is considered the same as an Ippon.
