S.C. Code Regs. 20-27.05 - Judging and scoring
(A) All bouts
will be scored by three (3) judges.
(B) The "Ten-Point Must System" will be the
standard system of scoring a bout. The winner of the round will be awarded ten
(10) points and the loser of the round will be awarded nine (9) points or less,
except for the rare occasion of an even round, which is scored ten (10) to ten
(10).
(C) Judges shall judge mixed
martial art techniques, such as effective striking, effective grappling, and
control of the opponent, effective aggressiveness and defense.
(1) Effective striking is judged by
determining the total number of legal heavy strikes landed.
(2) Effective grappling is judged by
considering the number of successful executions of a legal takedown and
reversal. Factors to consider are take downs from the standing position to a
mount position, passing the guard to the mount position, and bottom position
fighters using an active threatening guard.
(3) Effective control is judged by
determining who is dictating the pace, location and position of the bout.
Factors to be considered are countering a grappler's attempt at a takedown by
remaining standing and legally striking, take down an opponent to force a
ground fight, creating threatening submission attempts, passing the guard to
achieve a mount, and creating striking opportunities.
(4) Effective aggressiveness means moving
forward and landing legal strikes.
(5) Effective defense means avoiding being
struck, take down or reversals while countering with offensive
strikes.
