What is Khawankay in sqay?
I · Intermediate · Artistic events · 5 of 5In Khawankay a player announces the name of a lesson form, then performs it without music in the blue uniform; a different form scores nothing. Two judges mark it out of 10: start and finish 2, stance 3, the form 3 and sounds and timing 2. Teams of three are marked the same way.
How it works
- Music: none.
- Uniform: blue.
- Announce: the form's name.
- Start and finish: 2.
- Stance: 3.
- Form: 3.
- Sounds and timing: 2.
- Area: 6 m, inside 10 m.

Tricky cases
A player does a different form from the one announced. Result?
No points.
How many players in a team?
Three; the book says both a minimum and a maximum of three.
Two teams tie. Result?
The director may decide on fouls or give one more chance, with the same form.
Name one lesson form.
Sangri, the first of eight.
Why the rule exists
Announcing the form first lets judges mark it against what it should be.
