New Scoring System
18
19
New Scoring System
19
20
Scoring System The new scoring system is based on a 10 point must
system that can be used either with a similar electronic scoring system as in the past or a manual mode (paper scoring)
When the electronic scoring system (ESS) is available, 5 judges will enter the field of play, their position around the ring will be randomly selected by ping pong balls numbered 1 through 5
When using the manual system, 3 judges will enter the field of play, their position around the ring will be randomly selected by ping pong balls numbered 1 through 3
20
21
Scoring System Just before starting the bout, the ESS will randomly select 3
judges out of the 5 to score the bout, only the scores of these 3 judges selected will be counted
When using the manual system, all 3 judges will be live
When using the ESS system, the judges will not know if they are live until the end of the bout when their names and scores are announced
At the end of each round, when using the ESS the judges will have 15 seconds to enter their score into the ESS scoring pad
21
22
Scoring System The judge will select a winner after each round by hitting the
red or blue button on the scoring pad or manually writing it on the score card, all judges will declare their winner, but only the 3 live judges scoring the bout will decide the outcome
Each of the judges must determine the winner of the round and award a score of 10 - 9 or less, but not lower than 6, every round must have a declared winner no ties
Whether it is electronic or manual scoring, the supervisor will apply any warnings associated with the bout and make the proper adjustments manually on score cards
With the the electronic scoring, they will inform the ESS tech to apply the warning and it will be noted in the equation
22
23
Scoring System
With manual scoring the proper adjustments will be made once the score cards have been collected (the judge’s full concentration must be dedicated to the bout without distractions)
If the bout is tied, the scoring pad will light up and blink indicating to the judge they have to select a winner
In the event of a tie when using the manual system, when the score card is turned in for the final round, a winner must be declared on the score card
23
24
Scoring System
If the computer system goes down prior to the bout starting, the supervisor will give the referee 5 scorecards to pass out to the judges; the supervisor will randomly select through the blind selection process (ping pong balls) 3 of the 5 judges to score the bout
If the scoring system goes down after the beginning of the first round, score cards will be handed out to all the judges, but only the 3 live judges scores will determine the winner
When scoring manually this will not be an issue 24
25
Manual Scoring System
26
Scoring Criteria A boxer will be given value for the following scoring
methodology: Number of quality blows landed on the target
area
Domination of the bout
Competitiveness – not giving up and continues to be competitive in the bout
26
27
Technique Clean, effective scoring blows with good
style and form
Strategic and Tactical Maneuver himself in the position to score Out maneuver an opponent by ability to cut
off the ring
Infringement of the Rules set forth by USA Boxing
27
Scoring Criteria
28
Scoring System The following scores are based on the new scoring
criteria:
10 – 9 (Close Round) 10 – 8 (Clear Winner) 10 – 7 (Total Dominance) 10 – 6 (Overmatched)
The difference between the 10 point must system in AOB versus professional boxing is that a knock down in professional boxing will automatically win you the round
In AOB/USAB it’s just part of the equation and evaluation of the total performance of the round
28
29
Compulsory Count Limits Elite men (19 – 40) after a maximum of
three 8 counts in one round the bout will be stopped
No limit of the amount of 8 counts in a bout without exceeding 3 in a round
