Olympic qualification event

Whats countback?

 

Baister lost 19-5

 

I may have this slightly wrong but they go back and get the score cards of all 5 judges, get rid of the 2 most extreme scores (1 that favours fighter A, 1that favours fighter B) and use the other 3 cards to give a decision.

 

I've got tickets for light flyweight, light welter and light heavy at the Olympics. Quarter-finals as well so they are medal bouts :bbb:happy

Not sure if we have definite LF or LH yet?? Can anyone confirm (I've not read all these posts yet)

 

You're thinking about the actual points system, not countback. The scoring system is based on five judges pressing for the scoring blows, and they take away the referee who has the highest and the one who has the lowest score. Doesn't have anything to do with which of the fighters they have that score for. :good

A countback is decided if the fight has come to a draw with the accepted scores. Then the scoring machine automatically recalculates, using every points pressed by each individual judge. When all the points are added up, the fighter with the most points is declared a winner.

 

think i've got the exact same tickets:good
Paddy Barnes will be there for ireland at light-fly
Callum Smith is fighting for a place at Light-heavy on friday.

 

:good

 

Need Smith and Ogogo to win. They both have a good chance.

 

Big day today

Smith boxes at about 1.45pm

Ogogo boxes at 5.30pm

 

One slight difference, it's the two furthest out scores they discard, they could both be way off high in support of a fighter or both way of low
or as you say they could be one high and one low.

 

The semis & finals being streamed from 12pm.

Finally! will be watching this.

 

Me 2 :smoke

If Smith loses there's still a 50/50 chance he'll qualify, if the guy who beats him wins the final then he's going to London.
