Rule changes in amateur championships from 2017

Post by Mighty Atom »

"An independent Swiss Timing electronic draw system will now be used to select the judges for each bout, AIBA have announced, with the Draw Commission replaced by a single official overseeing this technology.

All five of their scorecards will be used to determine the winner, instead of just three.

Judges will also be placed on all four sides of the ring, while another change will see scores for each round only declared at the conclusion of a bout rather than at the ends of the rounds.

These changes will come into operation at all tournaments in 2017."

That's better than what they did more recently. I hated that using 3 out of 5 judges. If their honest, it's not a problem. Of course AIBA has had problems with dishonest officials. The easy solution for that is to get rid of the dishonest ones.
