Abstract

This study discusses the duty of instant replay in Poomsae competitions. Current instant replay in Poomsae competitions are allowed upon request right after the competitions, and there is a lack of game regulations regarding instant replay. Therefore, to secure fairness and correction of a bad call by a referee, introduction of instant replay was emphasized, and relevant problems and improvement methods have been discussed. First, to secure the objectivity of Poomsae competitions, a map of human body needs to be included, ideas must be collected openly, and the ratio of subjective thoughts should be minimized. Second, to secure consistency of the referees’ judgments, referees should intend elitism, and scoring items must be clearly classified with level of difficulty and completeness. Third, to provide an excellent scoring system, a new scoring item must be established that can be used to evaluate kicks based on their level of difficulties and susceptibility of Poomsae movements. Another solution is to score athletes one by one on absolute evaluation throughout the tournament. Like this, distrust on referees’ judgment can be eliminated, and a standard to recover trusty is set. Hence, detailed guidelines and evaluation items regarding the introduction of instant replay is only possible through insight and cooperation of professionals. Sooner the instant replay is introduced, the better referees’ judgements are trusted, and fairness of the game as well. This will also further globalization of Poomsae competitions in Asian Games and Olympics.
