IVR (INSTANT VIDEO REPLAY)

MasTKD considered important to highlight the situation in which ONLY IVR will be allowed, as these changes will limit the coaches’ possibilities when using their color cards (Red/Blue) in petition of IVR.

1. ONE (1) Quota per every match
2. No Video replay will be allowed for or against head kick point (INCLUDING FACE)
3. Penalty against the opponent:
4. Falling down.
5. Crossing the boundary line.
6. Attacking the opponent after “Kal-yeo”.
7. Attacking the fallen opponent.
8. Penalty against own contestant.
9. Technical Point.
10. Any mechanical malfunction or error in time management.
11. From One (1) minute to 30 seconds

As we can observe, these modifications are determinant for time management, agility and continuity of the fight, but also to decide the winner.
