Calls an Official May Make

When the referee believes there has been a significant exchange of techniques, or when signaled to do so by a corner a judge/s, he/she shall call out the word, “STOP!” in a loud voice.  The referee shall then returns the competitors to their starting marks and addresses the judges by saying “JUDGES CALL!”  All judges and the center referee cast their votes simultaneously and assertively in the following manner.

1.    Judge Sees a Point - He/she should hold up both colors or hold up one arm if colors are not being used.  At the same time, he/she yells out the word “CALL!” in a loud, clear voice to let the referee know he/she has a call.
2.    Point Calling - When signaled by the referee (referee says “Judges Call” in a loud clear voice) a judge raises the appropriate color (red or white usually) if colors are being used or points to the competitor who scores the point.  If a competitor scores a two point kick, the officials should hold up or point with two fingers (index and middle fingers).  If only one point is being called, the judge should point with only one finger (Index finger).
3.    No Point Scored - An official crosses his/her wrist at waist level or holds both colors down to indicate that he/she believes that a point was not scored.
4.    Did Not See If  A Point Was Scored - The officials holds his/her  hand over his/her eyes indicating that he/she could not see whether a point was scored or not.  Indicates the official was not in position to see if a point scored.  (When using this signal, it has the same effect as saying “no point”, but it indicates to the referee, competitors and fans the reason why you are not calling the point).
5.    Clash - Officials make a motion as though they are hitting both fists together, indicating that both competitors scored at the same time.
6.    Penalty - The judge waves the color of the offending competitor in a circular motion.  If no colors are used the judge waves the hand and arm in a circular motion while pointing at the offending competitor.
7.    Disqualification - A disqualification vote is taken separately from any other vote.  When a disqualification vote is asked for, the referee will say, “JUDGES CALL”.  The judges will then hold the color or point to the competitor who is to be disqualified.  If the judge does not feel the competitor should be disqualified, he/she crosses his/her wrist or holds both colors down at waist level.
