Within the structure of the matches the International Kendo Federation rules will be applied.

Entry for the competition is both individual and team's of 3, dan grade and sex may be mixed.

There is no restriction on grades, age or sex competing i.e. Kyusha can fight Yudansha, male against female.

There will be 3 Referees plus recorder and timekeeper, in some instances we appreciate that it may not be possible to have experienced personnel, no matter this is a complete learning process - Shiai and Refereeing and Organisation… so this is a practical hands on experience and a learning curve

All refereeing results will stand.

The competing order will be published in advance with dates set.

Each fighter will compete in the knockout of the tournament with 5 minute bouts for 2 points. 

Where there is a grade differential between fighters:no handicap system is enforced in the TAIKAI, as is done on an international level.

Matches will be recorded by win only. In case of a draw then that match will have extended time (encho) till a point is scored.

In case of personal commitments, a competitor may NOT have his or her matches postponed to another date.
