Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0780-05-01-.17 - SCORING
(1) All bouts will be scored by the
"ten-point must" system. In this system the winner of each round receives ten
points and the opponent a proportionately less number, but under no
circumstances less than seven. When the round is even, each boxer receives ten
points.
(2) A referee may
participate in the scoring of a bout without possessing a judge's license.
However, it is recommended that the referee take no part in the scoring of a
bout in order to devote maximum attention to the proper performance of his
supervisory responsibilities.
(3)
Whenever a referee decides to penalize a contestant because of a foul or other
infraction of the rules , he shall notify both corners and the judges of the
number of points to be deducted from such contestant at the end of the round in
which the infraction occurs. The judges shall adjust their scorecards in
accordance with the referee's instructions.
(4) The scoring of a bout shall be based on
four factors, in the following order:
(a)
clean hits;
(b) effective
aggressiveness;
(c)
defense;
(d) ring
generalship.
(5) For
scoring purposes, a "standing eight count" shall be deemed equivalent to a
knockdown.
(6) In any bout fought
to a decision, the outcome shall be determined by a majority of the scorers.
(a) Example: Two judges score a bout a draw;
one judge scores the bout in one boxer's favor. The outcome is a
draw.
(7) In the event
that a bout terminates by a knockout or technical knockout which, in the
referee's sole judgement, resulted from head blows, he shall instruct the
judges to enter the designation "KOH" or "TKOH" (as appropriate) on their
scorecards.
(8) At the conclusion
of a bout , all scorecards shall be signed by the scorer and transmitted to a
designated "chief judge". After reviewing the scorecards for accuracy and
correctness, the chief judge shall notify the ring announcer of the official
decision. Following the announcement of the decision, the scorecards shall be
delivered to the Directors.
(9) In
order to afford an adequate view of the bout as well as sufficient isolation
from other spectators, judges may be seated in elevated chairs positioned
midway between the ring posts on different sides of the ring.
