Nevada changes rules

it's really not that complex. it's just a half point that would separate a close round especially where a 10-10 round is not allowed.

What's the gain here though? How would a 10-9.5 round be better than a 10-9 round? I think things should be much more simple and binary you won the round or you didn't.

there are rounds where it would be too close to call and where a 10-10 round is not allowed, a judge can make a decision base on the usual criteria but giving just a half point advantage to a fighter. in that way, the other fighter has the chance to make up for it by winning clearly in the suceeding rounds.

for example,
1st round: 10-9, for fighter A (a close round that should be 10-10)
2nd round: 10-9, for fighter B (a clear round)
score up to this point: 19-19

in this scenario, they would be tied in the scorecard whereas fighter B should actually be leading.

now with the .5,
1st round: 10-9.5, for fighter A (close round but given to the fighter who did a little more.
2nd round: 10-9, for fighter B (clear round scored for fighter B)
score up to this point: 19.5-19 (advantage to fighter B)
see the difference? this time fighter B would be justifiably leading albeit by a small margin.

Although I disagree with it, I do applaud your effort. I think it merits trying to rescore old fights using your method and putting it into practice.

Its an old story,and its a mixed bag.
Theres some language in there,that I guarantee you is designed to freeze people out on licensing,just like PA's antiquated morality clause .
Ive never had a problem with sports drinks,just write it in to the contract what brand,and have them delivered sealed and checked by the commission rep.Dehydration is one of the biggest killers in the ring.
