Last weekend the first event was held with the new rules. The African Open in Tunis is traditionally the first event. IJF Head of Refereeing Juan Carlos Barcos who was present in Tunis was satisfied about the first test.
"I have to tell you that it was a wonderful surprise and this first contact with the new regulations left me with an extraordinary and positive feeling. It is never easy to change the rules and as long as we had not seen what it gives in a real competition situation, it is difficult to form a definitive opinion. Here in Tunis we had two days of high level competition and during the two final blocks, all the fights were won by a positive score, or, in other words, by a action giving waza-ari or ippon. Knowing that there are still two competitions by early February (Portugal and Bulgaria), we will arrive in Paris for the first event of the 2017 IJF calendar, with experience and this is good and necessary. The Paris Grand Slam, February 11 and 12, will really be the big test.“
