(1) A request for change of decision after a contest or exhibition must be in writing, and the Commission may, in its discretion, refuse the request without reviewing details of the fight or holding a hearing.

(2) The Commission will not exercise its discretion to review a decision unless it receives compelling and plausible allegations of:

(a) Collusion or fraud affecting the result of a contest or exhibition; or

(b) Scoring error resulting in a decision given to the wrong unarmed combatant; or

(c) Flagrant referee error resulting in a decision given to the wrong unarmed combatant.

(3) The Commission will hold a hearing to review a decision only if it believes there is the potential for licensee discipline, or if in its judgment testimony is required. In the case of allegations addressed in 523 CMR 14.20(2)(a) and (b), review of the decision will generally be limited to scoring records and / or video of the fight in question.

(4) The Commission will not change a decision unless collusion or error directly affected the outcome of the fight.
