• The new scoring system is based on a 10 point
  must system that can be used either with a
  similar electronic scoring system as in the past
  or a manual mode (paper scoring)
• When the electronic scoring system (ESS) is
  available, 5 judges will enter the field of play,

  selected by ping pong balls numbered 1 through 5

  the field of play, their position around the ring
  will be randomly selected by ping pong balls
  numbered 1 through 3

11
12
New AOB Scoring System

• Just before starting the bout, the ESS will
  randomly select 3 judges out of the 5 to score
  the bout, only the scores of these 3 judges
  selected will be counted
• When using the manual system, all 3 judges will
  be live
• When using the ES system, the judges will not
  know if they are live until the end of the bout
  when their names and scores are announced

12
13
New AOB Scoring System

• At the end of each round, when using the ESS the
  judges will have 15 seconds to enter their score
  into the ESS scoring pad
• The judge will select a winner after each round
  by hitting the red or blue button on the scoring
  pad or manually writing it on the score card, all
  judges will declare their winner, but only the 3
  live judges scoring the bout will decide the
  outcome
• Each of the judges must determine the winner of
  the round and award a score of 10 - 9 or less,
  but not lower than 6, every round must have a
  declared winner no ties

  supervisor will apply any warnings associated
  with the bout and make the proper adjustments
  manually on score cards. With the the electronic
  scoring, they will inform the ESS tech to apply
  the warning and it will be noted in the equation
• With manual scoring the proper adjustments will
  be made once the score cards have been collected
  (the judges full concentration must be dedicated
  to the bout without distractions).
• If the bout is tied, the scoring pad will light
  up and blink indicating to the judge they have to
  select a winner
• In the event of a tie when using the manual
  system, when the score card is turned in for the
  final round, a winner must be declared on the
  score card

  the 5 judges to score the bout
