		<description>The judging at the 4th World Poomsae championships (Nov-Dec 2009) has added new criteria for the deduction of specific error areas by 0.5 points deductions:

on Accuracy:

•	0.5 point will be deducted each time a contestant’s performance does not correspond to the WTF regulated movement – e.g. wrong movement or omitting a movement.

•	0.5 point will be deducted each time when the contestant misses a ki-hap or ki-haps in the wrong place or at the wrong movement point.

•	0.5 point will be deducted if the starting position differs from the ending position by more than one foot (means the length of the player&#039;s foot) allowance.

•	0.5 point will be deducted each time a contestant makes an unnecessary noise in a stance or stepping foot – except where a jitt-zik-gi movement exists.

•	0.5 point will be deducted each time a contestant makes mistakes such as pausing in their movements for more than 3 seconds.

•	0.5 point will be deducted each time a contestant performs a jitt-zik-gi movement without enough power and sound.

on Presentation:

•	0.5 point will be deducted each time eye focus or breathing is not corresponding to the movement or motion.

•	0.5 point will be deducted each time a contestant express power and speed with a lack of fluency in movement.

•	0.5 point will be deducted each time a contestant loses balance in performing a required movement or the extent of the movement is not appropriate.

•	0.5 point will be deducted each time a contestant performs the movement with a lack of flexibility.

•	0.5 point will be deducted each time a contestant exceeds the time limit.

•	0.5 point will be deducted each time a contestant crosses the boundary line.
