				  than reliance on the number of punches, as well as effective aggressiveness,
				  ring generalship, and defense.
3.
				  Specific Criteria for Awarding Points
a. If a
				  round ends with no clear winner, the appropriate scoring is 10-10.
b. If boxers' performances are almost equal,
				  the winner will be the individual generally demonstrating the most effective
				  boxing technique, and she/he will be awarded the round by a score of
				  10-9.
c. If a boxer but not her/his
				  opponent has one knockdown, that individual will be awarded the round by a
				  score of 10-8.
d. If a boxer but
				  not her/his opponent has two knockdowns, that individual will be awarded the
				  round by a score of 10-7, with the loser's score reduced by one point for each
				  deduction foul she/he commits.
e.
				  If a boxer but not her/his opponent has more than two knockdowns, that
				  individual will be awarded the round by a score of 10-6, with the loser's score
				  reduced by one point for each deduction foul she/he commits.
f. If there are no knockdowns but one boxer's
				  performance is dominant, that individual will be awarded the round by a score
				  of 10-8.
4. Recording of
				  Fouls
Upon notification by the referee of a penalty imposed for
					 a foul, at the end of the round, each judge shall follow the instructions of
					 the referee in deducting one or more points from the score of the boxer
					 committing the foul(s). Each judge shall mark a "P" (for penalty) beside the
					 boxer's original score and mark the new score in the space provided for that
					 round.
5. Partial Rounds
Judges shall score all partial rounds as if they were
					 complete rounds.
