Hi All, Was wondering when the weights are recorded for all the fighters as the competition last for couple of weeks. Is it done only at the beginning? or several times or just before every fight? Also the new scoring system? ANy links plz, like how they score. Is it one point for every time the punch is land (irrespective of power punch or a jab)? Thanks all!!
my coach told me in competitions that last for a few days, fighters have to weigh in during the days which they are fighting in about the scoring system, 5 judges are at the ringside counting the clean punches ( it has to be a power punch with force of the shoulder blah blah ). they add up the scores of the 5 judges and take the average score if i'm not wrong.
But the fights that I saw so far in Olympics, the avg points are 15 are so. Dose that mean the fighter has only landed 15 punches in all the 3 rounds combined? Or are they calculating any avg.?
It just means they are very selective in which punches they do score, or maybe they might not see some of them. For a punch to score it has to land cleanly on either the opponents head or body with the knuckle part of the glove.
Yeah. Though I agree, in some rounds a fighter was given 1 point but I did observer that he did land more than 1 clean punch for sure, in that 3 minutes. Not just in one case I saw this.. Many.. So there is something else or they are doing some kind of avg calculation, I believe.
That's not how it's scored anymore I don't think. They changed it to an aggregate system or something, got rid of the 2 second window.
Yeah I just mean that's how the judges score it. The final score you see at the end of the round is calculated by a computer, it removes the highest and lowest scores and then an average of the three closest is taken :good
forgot about the draw also. That is typical at tourneys. For example, at the golden gloves this past april i had to weigh in on Friday which the draw was set even though I didn't fight until saturday.
here's the rule book ... http://aiba.org/documents/site1/docs/technical_and_competition_rules_201207018.pdf go to pp78-80 for the specific rules to scoring/tallies points are tallied two ways now; similar score & trimmed means. it's all in the rule book. pp70-71 for the playing field and observing j1-j5 around the ring. the two judges (j3, j4) are always to the right of the blue corner. when you watch aiba videos from the trials you'll see the score between rounds from each judge (match the score with the judge around the ring). what they've been showing us on american tv is the points for the round and not the individual judges' score + round total, so we're not able to see what each judge scored.
