I have no idea how the scoring system works but it was fun to watch.

Seems to me that clean hits score 1 point; 2 points win the round. The triangle I think is a penalty point for various fouls by the opponent, but doesn't necessarily count towards the round. Double hits or hits while your opponent's weapon is still touching you don't seem to count. In the initial lineup you can see each competitor's rank/grades (dan). The novices/lower grades fight first, ending with the highest grade for the final. You can see the quality of each successive fight going up - the technique gets cleaner, there's less "grappling", and more decisive fights. I find kendo to be similar like fencing, where a quick wrist movement and a slash to the head is what usually scores the point; naginata seems a bit harder to learn because of the weapon's cumbersomeness in a duel. Kendo's domination in the early rounds where the competitors more or less just run at each other seems to prove my point, but the later rounds are a better demonstration how to properly use the naginata's length. As a bigger naginata fan than a kendo fan, I really liked the 5将 (23:00) fight with a clean throat thrust and parry/slash by the naginata. The 副将 (29:50) fight was a bit controversial, as the second naginata hit was arguably a double, with the refs being 2:1 in favour of awarding the point. The final (32:29) was incredibly clean, using the length advantage of the naginata to its fullest.
