1. (a) Unless otherwise directed or authorized by the commission, the following scoring system shall be used by the judges in each boxing contest or exhibition to determine which, if any, participant has won a round. In each round, such judges shall observe:

   1. (1) clean hitting;
   2. (2) effective aggressiveness;
   3. (3) defense; and

   4. (4) ring generalship.

      At the conclusion of each round, each judge shall score each participant's performance on these four items, using the ten-point-must system.

2. (b) The basic scoring concepts, which are non-exclusive and provided herein for guidance purposes of example only, are:

   1. (1) round ends, no clear winner 10-10 (Rare);
   2. (2) close round/winning of the round by effective boxing – 10-9;
   3. (3) one knockdown and a winning of the round – 10-8;
   4. (4) no knockdowns, but a clear dominating winning of the round – 10-8;
   5. (5) two knockdowns – 10-7;
   6. (6) one knockdown and one point deduction to the same boxer – 10-8 (minus 1) = 10-7;
   7. (7) more than two knockdowns – 10-6 or fewer; and
   8. (8) two knockdowns and one point deduction – 10-7 (minus 1) = 10-6.

All boxing contests and exhibitions shall be scored by three judges.
