A talented artist, Nan Yi is also a skilled flyer. As a judge of kite competitions, he employs various criteria by which to judge competitors. Judges concern themselves with the overall appearance and construction of a kite, then the skill with which a kite is flown. The second part of the judging concerns a flyer's skill in handling a kite including the take-off, how long a kite remains aloft, and reaching a targeted area within a specified time. In the event of a tangle, there is no penalty.
Competitors simply untangle their kites and begin again.
