WASF First World Shadow Boxing PK Ranking Competition
WASF's first Shadow Boxing PK World Ranking Competition uses the AI referee system to score non-contact shadow-boxing combinations in real time, entirely on-device. Below is a summary of the competition regulations.
Age Divisions:
- Youth Division: ages 12-17
- Adult Division: ages 18-40
- Masters Division: ages 41 and above
(Divisions are modeled on established amateur boxing age-classification conventions, adapted for a non-contact, AI-judged shadow-boxing format where physical weight class does not apply.)
Camera & Recording Setup:
Each participant sets up two camera angles as specified by the WASF-certified partner app: a front-facing camera capturing full-body punch technique, and an overhead camera capturing footwork and ring positioning. Both feeds are processed entirely on-device — no video is ever uploaded to WASF or any partner server; only the final abstracted score and technical metrics are submitted.
Anti-Cheat & Fair Play:
Before the start of each scoring phase, each competitor must confirm that it is the actual athlete performing the movements.
Privacy:
Consistent with WASF's Privacy Policy, no video, camera frame, or biometric measurement ever leaves the athlete's device. Only anonymized, abstracted scoring data is submitted to WASF's ranking system.
