Section R4-3-308. Method of judging

A.      Three judges shall score all contests. Under special circum- stances two judges and the referee may score. The method of judging shall be the 10-point must system. In this system the better contestant receives 10 points and his opponent propor- tionately less, but not less than 7 points. If the round is even, each contestant receives 10 pounds. A fraction of points may not be given. Points for each round shall be awarded immedi- ately after the termination of the round and not subsequently changed. Judges shall sign their scorecards.

B.       The referee shall pick up the scorecards of the judges and then deliver the cards to the Commission representative assigned to check them for the mathematical accuracy. When the Commis- sion representative has completed his checking he shall advise the announcer of the decision, and the announcer shall then inform the audience of the decision over the speaker system. The Commission representative shall stand at the ring apron when checking the scorecards.
