Three judges will sit at ringside and score each bout based on a 10 point must system just like in regular boxing or kickboxing. The winner gets 10, the loser gets 9 or less if point deductions occur.
Bouts will be judged on who lands the most strikes/points in the designated areas based on the judge's discretion.
Bouts are scored by CLEAN shots landed
Effective Clinching is scored highly
Pummeling and gaining positioning, kneeing target areas earn points
Ducking out of clinch is detrimental to score (can result in a knee to head)
Blocking knees with forearms is detrimental to score
Hip tossing is detrimental to score
Heal tripping is detrimental to score
Kneeing opponent in the groin is detrimental to score
If rounds 1 & 2 are won by a fighter the win will go to him/her.
It will not be judged on whom the crowd is chanting for on one's "show boating" etc.
If judges rule that a participant is intentionally trying to hurt someone or hurts someone resulting from a full-contact blow that participant will be disqualified with no refund. (this will be at judges discretion majority rules).
Full protective gear is Mandatory - approved headgear, mouthpiece, groin protectors, shin guards, handwraps, and foot pads must be worn.
All strikes must be in designated striking areas. These are front head area, front body area, inside and outside of the thigh. No groin strikes. If there is a draw in a match there will be an extra round to determine a winner.
If a leg kick is thrown and it is blocked with the shin portion of the leg...it is not a point.
If a knee is thrown to the body but is blocked it is not a point. All techniques must land in the designated striking area to be counted as a point.
Point Deduction or Possible Disqualifications
Too Much Contact- Reminder all techniques must be controlled with semi-contact only. Use of profanity and un-professionalism.
