ATA Tournaments - Traditional Forms Judging Criteria!

[@dray7080]

I understand that this was 2 years ago but i do have a question... Ik that the center judge is the highest black belt rank of the 3 judges and they are in the center but im wondering... what does the second highest black belt rank in the ring judge and what does the lowest black belt rank of the 3 judges judge

As long as they hit the minimum rank requirement (center judge must be one rank above highest rank competitor, corner judges must be equal to highest rank competitor), the judges ranks don't matter beyond that. It is simply what seat they are in, what position they are assigned! I hope that answers your question!

Ok bc im doing my own tournaments online so its ll pretend and i randomized a 10th degree an 8th and a 5th degree as the judges... so its obvious that the 10th degree will be the center judge im just wondering about the other 2 lol
