A total of 4550 official matches in both men and women were included in the analysis. Frequencies and percentages were used for descriptive statistics. Mean and standard deviations with 95% confidence intervals were also presented. The difference in the variables investigated for each stage of judo competitions was analysed with the Chi-square test. Continuous variables were analysed with the Kruskal-Wallis test. The way competitors won a match differed in elimination, final stages, and medal matches (<em>p</em>=.02). When the difficulty of the matches increased, the percentage of the matches ended with <em>ippon </em>decreased and the percentage of the matches resulted with <em>waza-ari</em> increased. The percentage of the matches without any <em>shido</em> decreased from the elimination to the finals while there was a significant increase in the percentage of the matches with s<em>hido </em>(<em>p</em>=.01). The match duration was found to increase from eliminations to the finals (<em>p</em>=.00). The efficiency index of the winner athletes during the first stage was higher than the other stages (<em>p</em><.05). In conclusion, high-level judo athletes won a match with different scores at different stages during high-level judo competitions. Moreover, athletes were awarded with penalties more during the finals compared to eliminations, and match duration incrementally increased from the eliminations to the finals.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Revista de Artes Marciales Asiáticas}, author={Ceylan, Bayram and Öztürk, Furkan and Balci, Sükrü Serdar}, year={2020}, month={Jun.}, pages={14–21} }
