Elimination round: Contested in two pools (A and B) of five athletes in each pool. Athletes compete against the other athletes in their pools and are ranked according to results achieved in their pool. An athlete receives two points for winning a bout and one point for a tie. The top two athletes from each pool (based on points earned for each bout) qualify for the semifinals.
If the score is equal at full time of a bout, the winner is the athlete who has scored first (which is called Senshu).
Tiebreaking: If there is a tie between two or more athletes to decide who will advance to the semifinals, the criteria below are used to break the tie:
- Winner of the bouts between the tied athletes
- Higher number of scores obtained in favor of each athlete in all bouts
- Lower number of scores against each athlete in all bouts
