Scoring system

The judges shall use the "ten point must system" for scoring. The contestant winning the round is awarded ten points based on clean hitting, effective aggressiveness, defense, and ring generalship. The other contestant is awarded nine or fewer points. If the round is even, each contestant receives ten points. Fractions of points are not permitted. The scores start at ten with seven being the lowest. If the referee deducts points, the referee shall inform each judge who then shall make the deduction on a scorecard.
