The above example is meant solely to illustrate a contest between
two
experienced boxers. With novices it is often impossible to
count the points, as a contest generally develops into a ding-dong
figlit. In a close contest between two novices good boxing should
be encouraged by a verdict for the competitor who shows the
cleanest hitting and makes attempts at ducking, guarding, foot-
work, etc. ; in other words, who shows superiod boxing tactics.
40 (b). International and Amateur B.A. Method of Scoring.
Service Referees and Judges when officiating under Amateur or
International Amateur B.A, rules must conform to the Inter-
national method of marking, which is as follows :—
The Referee and Judges shall award at the end of each round
five marks, and seven marks if the last round is of longer
duration, to the better competitor, and a lesser number to the
other competitor according to his merits.
When the competitors are equal the maximum number must
be given to each.
The I.S.B.A. system of judging can still be retained, but the
marks obtained must be translated and adapted so as to conform
to the A.B.A. and International method of scoring.
The following are two specimens of Scoring Sheets:—
" A " for a close bout of three rounds of 3 minutes in an A.B.A.
Open Competition.
" B " for a comfortable win in a bout of three rounds of two
2 minutes' and last of three minutes' duration in an A.B.A.
Intermediate Competition.
