Front · Running a match. Follow the referee’s calls.

1 · Open your court

2 · Record points and penalties

Use Men, Kote, Do or Tsuki for the correct red or white player. Check names and colours; their sides may be reversed. Press Hansoku for the player given a penalty. Two penalties give the opponent a point.

3 · Run the clock

Use the play button (Start · Hajime) and pause button (Stop · Yame). Adjust seconds with −10, −1, +1, +10. A point or Hansoku stops the clock automatically. Restart only on the referee’s call.

At time up, the whistle sounds. The whistle button (Replay time-up whistle) plays it again. If no clock is shown, ask the director about the timer setting.
