BOXING.
shall be set down on the scoring paper immediately at the conclu-
sion of each round and totalled at the end of each bout. The
referee and each judge shall sign his scoring paper, and, should
the judges disagree, the referee shall have the casting vote and
shall nominate a winner.
40. I.S.B.A. Method of Scoring and Marking Points.
(a) Directly " Time " is called, the whole attention must be
concentrated on the action of the two boxers. The judge should
not allow his attention to be attracted by the work of one boxer
only. So far as possible, the eyes should be constantly directed
between the two competitors, and thus attacks, guards, and
counters will be observed.
(b) The mistake which some judges make is in attempting to
keep scores for both contestants. This is practically impossible.
Instead, it is necessary only to keep count of the " lead " or the
number of points by which one boxer leads over his opponent.
Every time the boxer who has established a lead scores, a
-
point
should be added to his lead. When his opponent scores, points
should be deducted from his lead. The system is the same as
scoring in golf. In an even contest it often happens that first
one boxer and then the other gains the lead. This method permits
of every phase of a round being closely observed and marked,
and it eventually discloses the winner and the number of points
by which he leads.
(c) A judge thus knows the actual number of points by which
one of the contestants leads at the end of the first round, and
lie must now mark both men according to'Para. 39. The actual
number of points by which one of the boxers leads will give a
comparative value of the two men, and he must mentally convert
that comparison into a ratio denoting the values of the two. If
the two boxers are equal, he will award 5 marks to each for the
first round; if not, then 5 to the winner and up to 5 for the loser.
A judge may decide that one boxer is as 5 to 41, 5 to 4, 5 to 3J
better, but if he gives 5 to 21 that means that one boxer is twice
as good as the other, and, normally, the bout would then have
been stopped.
This method of marking points is similar to that used by the
Amateur Boxing Association of Great Britain and also by the
International Amateur B.A.
