SECTION 92:10-3-14. Judges for boxing and kickboxing

(a)   Three (3) judges shall together score each bout and each round.

(b)   The Commission shall appoint the judges and its decision shall be final.

(c)   A judge shall be seated on a high stool between the ring posts, not on the same side as another judge, with a clear view of the ring.

(d)   Judges shall score the contest using the 10-point must system.

(e)   The "10-point must system" means the winner of each round receives 10 points as determined by clean hitting, effective aggressiveness, defense, and ring generalship. The loser of the round shall receive less than 10 points.

(f)   Judges shall score each round of the contest on an individual scorecard. Each scorecard must be signed by the scoring judge. The Commission shall furnish the judges with official scorecards. The referee shall collect the scorecard from each judge and shall present the scorecards to the inspector before the start of each subsequent round.

(g)   If a judge becomes incapacitated and is unable to complete the scoring of a contest, a timeout shall be called and an alternate licensed judge shall immediately be assigned to score the contest from that point. If the incapacity of a judge is not noticed during a round, the referee shall score that round and the substitute judge shall score all subsequent rounds.

(h)   The Commission may require an applicant for a judge's license to take and pass a written test, to be conducted by the Commission covering the Act, this Chapter and the rules of the sport as published by national or international sanctioning bodies for the sport of boxing, as designated by the Commission.
