Question
I am a screenwriter in L.A. working on a film about Capoeira. Though I know the spirit of Capoeira has very little to do with competition, there are Capoeira tournaments and competitions.

Do you happen to know how they score these competitions? If not, do you know where I might find that information? There's a lot about Capoeira on the web, but nothing about how they score competitions. Please help!  

Answer
Hello David,

Sorry for not anwering your question earlier. I am vacating in Brazil, with limited access to the internet.

I know very little about capoeira. I did a search in the web and found some information for you on the following sites

http://www.capoeiracdp.com/ing/noteven.htm
http://www.capoeira.com.au/9th-capoeira-festival.php
http://www.planetcapoeira.com/articles/profight.htm

Sorry for not being more helpful.

Good luck!
