Seoul, Korea -- The World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) said Monday that it will introduce the electronic scoring system as early as May 2007 during the 18th World Taekwondo Championships in Beijing.
"The introduction of electronic gear is expected to greatly enhance the image of taekwondo and the WTF, as it can reduce the likelihood of controversial judging decisions," said WTF President Choue Chung-won at a news release here.
"The use of electronic gear can make judging at taekwondo competitions more objective and transparent," Choue said, describing the move as "a milestone in the history of taekwondo."
