New Scoring System for Amateur Boxing

INTRODUCTION OF NEW AIBA SCORING SYSTEM
http://www.boxingvic.org.au/New_AIBA_Scoring_System.pdf

i have shared all of your pain watching the terrible scoring in the amateurs.

this is much better.

in a nutshell - all judges are recorded independantly. there is no longer the one second window to push - a judge can think about it for a few seconds - also it means that judges can record a multi punch combo - say a left-right- hook combo found its mark with each punch in the past that was likely to record 1 point now it could record 3.

having all the judges recorded means not only will combo punching be more common but so will inside fighting - if you only need one judge to see at any given time fighters can use the corners for pressure fighting too.

of course they can't make it simple and just count all of the judges when it comes to giving the actual score

- no - they have to have to ways of scoring - the first and one that will be most common i think is called the "similar score method"

here they take the 3 judges who's score is closest to each other and divide the total by 3 to get the score

the other method is called the "trimmed mean" - say judges score 2-4-6-8-10 - they would take away the lowest and the highest and divide by 3

it also means no running score but instead a score comes up during round break.

Let us know what you think.
