Current through September 21, 2024

(a) The Commission or Commission Representative shall approve the judges for each bout and the decision shall be final. The amount of money paid to each judge shall be negotiated between the promoter and the judge; however, the amount shall not be less than $100.00 per event, plus travel expenses. The judges are to be paid by the promoter. The Commission shall never be required to pay for judges but may do so at its discretion.

(b) Judge Qualifications. Judge experience may be demonstrated by one of the following:

(i) Evidence of completion of Commission approved training, which must be completed every twenty four months; or

(ii) One year of professional experience as a judge from a State Athletic Commission or a Tribal Commission that is a member of the Association of Boxing Commissions, or upon approval of the Commission.

(c) Judges are responsible to familiarize themselves with and review the method to be used when scoring bouts which may vary by sport. The Commission or Commission Representative may approve alternative scoring criteria on a case-by-case basis.

(d) The bouts shall be scored to determine the winner through the use of the ten-point must system. In this system, the winner of each round receives ten points and the opponent a proportionately lower number. If the round is even, each contestant receives ten points. No fraction of a point may be given.

(e) Scorecards are provided by the Commission and only those shall be used.

(f) Each judge shall accurately complete their scorecard and in accordance with the provisions of the rules governing the sport they are judging.

(g) At the end of each bout the scorecard shall be totaled and signed by each judge.

(h) The outcome of a bout shall be determined by scoring the completed rounds and the round during which the referee stops the bout if an accidental foul renders a contestant unable to continue the bout if the foul occurs past the mid-point of the scheduled bout.

(i) Incomplete rounds shall be scored by the judges. If the referee penalizes either contestant in an incomplete round, the appropriate points shall be deducted.

(j) Number of Judges. All bouts will be evaluated and scored by three judges.

(k) Position of Judges. The judges shall sit alone at ring or cage side and will reach their own decision without conferring in any manner with any other official or person.

(l) Removal of Judges. Judges of bouts will be under the control and jurisdiction of the Commission or Commission Representative. The Commission, Commission Representative, or inspector reserves the right to remove a judge if the judge is inefficient or is otherwise unable to act as a judge.
