Ill. Admin. Code tit. 68, § 1370.780 - Scoring
a) Scoring shall be
by 3 judges in attendance to score each bout, stationed on different sides of
the ring, and the referee. The judges shall watch every phase of the bout and
make a decision if the contest lasts the full number of rounds scheduled. They
shall be ready at all times, if requested by the referee, to assist in deciding
whether fouls have been committed.
b) Judges shall evaluate each contestant's
mixed martial art technique using the following criteria for scoring:
1) Effective and efficient striking -
determining the total number of legal strikes landed.
2) Effective grappling - considering the
amount of successful executions of legal takedowns and reversals. Factors to
consider are takedowns from the standing position to a mount position, passing
the guard to the mount position, and bottom position fighters using an active
threatening guard.
3) Effective
control - which contestant is dictating the pace, location and position of the
bout. Factors to be considered are countering a grappler's attempt at a
takedown by remaining standing and legally striking, taking an opponent down to
force a ground fight, creating threatening submission attempts, passing the
guard to achieve a mount, and creating striking opportunities.
4) Effective aggressiveness - moving forward
and landing legal strikes.
5)
Effective defense - avoiding being struck by one's opponent, takedowns or
reversals while countering with offensive strikes.
c) System for Scoring a Contest
1) The scoring of the contest by the judges
will be by the 10-point must system.
2) Under the 10-point must system, the winner
of the round shall be awarded 10 points and the loser of the round shall be
awarded 9 or fewer points, except for rare instances of an even round for which
each contestant shall be awarded 10 points.
3) If the round is even, each contestant
receives the full number of points. No fractions of points are to be used
unless otherwise directed by the Division for a particular contest.
4) If a round is stopped by a referee due to
an accidental foul, the round shall be scored.
