E) FIXED SITUATIONS

1. Face-off :
A face off is a way to start the game. You use it: 

-At the start of a new period and after a correctly scored goal, teams take a face-off at the centre spot.
-When play is interrupted and the referee can´t decide what team must do a hit-in, a free-hit or a penalty shot.

-When the ball is damaged or is not correctly playable.
-When a serious injury occurs or an injured player directly affects play.
-When a penalty shot does not result in a goal.

Teams take face-offs at the nearest face-off dot, according to where the ball was at the interruption.

      You also do a face-off...



2. Hit-in:
-When the ball leaves the rink, the non-offending team gets a hit-in.
-Hit-ins must be taken from where the ball leaves the rink.
-All opponents must be at least 3 m from the ball.
-The ball must be hit to start play. The player taking the hit-in must not touch the ball again before another player touches it.
-A hit-in can go directly into goal.


3. Free-hit:
-When a team commits an offence, the other team gets a free-hit.
-The free-hit must start where the offence was committed, but never closer to the goalkeeper´s area than 3.5 m.


4. Penalty shot:
-When an offence leading to a penalty shot is committed, the non-offending team is awarded a penalty shot.
-The penalty shot must be taken from the centre spot.

      When is a penalty shot awarded?

-When the defending team committs an offence that prevents a goal situation

-When the defending team interrupts a goal situation.

You can find all judo techniques in www.judo-ch.jp , with very good explanations and drawings. 

Judo scoring system:

Judo scoring system changed in 2017 and now only has two grades of score:

→ Ippon: a complete point. With it, you win the combat.

→ Waza-ari: a lower grade of score.

But how to win?

You can win a combat in many ways. The most usual three are:

1. If the judges give you an ippon (a perfect  throwing technique, a hold of 20 seconds to your oponent, or a choke or joint lock that makes your opponent surrender). You win automatically, no matter how much combat time has passed.

2. If no one scores an ippon, with the higher score at the end of the combat ( 4 minutes duration).  

3. If your opponent is disqualified.   Image: www.judo-ch.jp

Judo rules:

When you think of Judo you first imagine spectacular throwing techniques. But it is a very safe sport, as it has strict rules that ensure safety.

It is learned on special mats for comfort and safety. The official contest area is a 14.55m square, with a 9.1m square area in its center. It is called “tatami”. You can see it in the picture at the right.

You can not wear anything that can cause damage to your oponent or to yourself, such as bracelets, rings or earings.

There are separate weight divisions for men and women, so you fight against opponents of your sex and approximate weight.

                                                                                                                                 Image: Jaime Pérez at flickr.com
