Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
A. Each contest
				  shall be scored by the judges approved and assigned by the department or its
				  contractor. The referee will not score the contest. The scoring will be done on
				  the 10 point must system. Judges will score each round based on clean punches
				  (power versus quantity), effective aggressiveness, ring generalship, and
				  defense. In a bout that is stopped in the middle of the round, the judges shall
				  score all incomplete or partial rounds as if they were a complete round. Judges
				  may deduct points for knockdowns only when they are called as such by the
				  referee and for fouls when they are instructed to do so by the referee. Judges
				  should avoid scoring a round even. At the end of each round, the score cards
				  shall be presented to the event inspector or his designee who shall examine the
				  score cards. The winner shall be the boxer who receives the highest score from
				  the majority of the judges at the end of the contest. The contest is a draw if
				  neither boxer scores so as to obtain a majority.
B. When the event inspector has examined the
				  score cards and checked them for accuracy, he shall inform the ring announcer
				  of the decision.
C. The department
				  shall not change a decision rendered at the end of any boxing contest unless:
1. It is determined that there has been
				  wrongful or illegal collusion affecting the result of the contest;
2. An error is found in the compilation of
				  the scorecards resulting in the decision favoring the wrong boxer; or
3. The department determines through
				  investigation that there was a violation of this chapter which adversely
				  impacted on the fairness of the contest or the decision.
