Technically, it should have been scored 10-10, not 9-9. Its a 10 point must system. So if Tito wins the round he gets 10 points, you ADD a point to Evans to make it 10-10. In a ten point must system, someone HAS to have 10 points.
If Evans won that round it would have been scored 10-8 for Evans. That's when you would have taken a point off the score. Either way 10-10 9-9 is same result so it didn't effect anything.
Is this a joke?
1+1 = 2
2+2-2=2
He's correct. A 9-9 round is automatically boosted to 10-10 because it is a 10 point must system. It wouldn't change the result, just the finaly scores.

?????
Strange I've never heard that before.
unless of course you had Rashad winning that round then he gets 11.
Thank you Mr. Sinosic.
Would you mind putting your finger up to your monitor, I'll put my finger on my monitor, it'll be like on ET, only cooler.
Actually, that is not how it works. The winner of the round MUST receive ten points for his win, then any penalties are deducted. Tito got 10 points and Evans got 9. That is how the round was scored. Then they took a point away. The round is scored correctly FIRST, then any deductions are taken.
Elvis's explanation is clearer. A 9-9 round doesn't exist in a 10 point MUST system.
DROC
Yes, it does. The round is scored FIRST. And I am RIGHT, because that is how it is always scored. Hence the reason it was scored that way Saturday night. It doesn't matter what you think it should be, only matters what the rules are. Because you are all confused is not my problem or the judges. A round that is ruled a draw is a 10-10 round. This round was not a draw. It was a 10-9 round for Ortiz. Then a penalty was deducted. That is the difference.
The point deduction may only be taken off the final total too, rather than the round total, no?
Sorry guys,
But Jebus Christ is 100% correct on this one.
You don't "up" the points to 10-10, it is scored as 10-9, then the deduction is subtracted.
No, the points are deducted from the round totals, not the final totals. This is all for record keeping. If you score a round 10-10, where is the penalty deducted from? If you subtract it at the end, what round was it from? If you score the round properly first, then deduct the point, everything works out. Because then you know the outcome of the round, and when the penalty occured, and it is reflected in the score cards. If a fighter has multiple penalties and you subtract them all at the end it can get confusing remembering when they happened. Remember the judges score the fight after each round.
Penalty points are always deducted from the final score for a round. If a fighter scores 2 knockdowns in a round and wins that round, the score would be 10-7. If that fighter incurred 1 penalty point in that round, the score would be 9-7.
Determining the Winner
Normally, scorecards are collected by the referee at the end of each round, and judges are not allowed to change their score after it is turned in. In a close fight, a judge may not even know who is winning at any given time. At the end of the fight, the fighter with the most points on each scorecard wins.
In most professional bouts, there are three judges. In the event that the judges scorecards show different results, you have what is called a "split decision" or "majority decision". In this case the winner is the one shown on the majority of the cards. If 2 of the 3 judges score the bout a draw, the bout is called a "majority draw".
Sorry but Jebus Christ is incorrect. Its a 10 point must. Someone MUST have ten points. Since Tito won the round, you need to give him 10 points and ADD a point to the comptetitor.
If Rashad would have won the round he would have recievd 10 points and you THEN would have subtracted a point from Tito, to make it 10-8.
WRONG Chad, why don't you read the link?
Here, I'll paste it for you.
From Boxrec:
Ten-point must system
From Boxrec Boxing Encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A system of scoring whereby the winner of a round must receive ten points, and the loser of the round nine points (eights points, if knocked down; seven points, if knocked down more than once and thoroughly dominated by his opponent). If there is no clear winner, each boxer must be awarded ten points. Note, however, although a boxer may win the round, he can lose a point by committing a foul, in which case the round likely would be scored nine points for each boxer.
From WIKIPEDIA:
10-point must system
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The 10-point must system is a method of scoring a fighting match (e.g., boxing or mixed martial arts (MMA)) in which the judges of the fight must give the winner of a round 10 points, while giving the loser 9 or less. A knock down usually results in a score of eight (8) for the boxer who was knocked down, and ten (10) for the boxer who knocked him or her down, provided, of course, the boxer who was knocked down gets back up before the end of the count and can finish the round. One can also occasionally award a 10 - 8 score if the person who is awarded the ten is obviously dominating the other fighter. If the fight does not end prior to completing the scheduled number of rounds, (due to injury sustained from an accidental foul), the sum of the scores for each round are tallied for each judge to determine the winner of the match, if a pre-determined number of rounds has been fought, (usually 4). If unable to continue the fight before that number of rounds has been fought, the fight is ruled a "no contest." Fighters can lose points by committing fouls, and a round may be judged as having no clear winner, both of which may result in awarding an equal number of points to each fighter, so even with an odd number of rounds and an odd number of judges, draws are possible. Each foul usually costs one point, and will be determined by the referee. A round that is considered a draw between both fighters is usually scored as a 10 - 10 round.
Scoring Example
In a three-round fight between Alpha and Bravo...
Judge 1 scores the rounds 10-9, 10-9, 9-9 for a final tally of 29-27 in favor of Alpha
Judge 2 scores the rounds 10-9, 9-10, 9-8 for a final tally of 28-27 in favor of Alpha
Judge 3 scores the rounds 10-8, 9-10, 9-9 for a final tally of 28-27 in favor of Alpha
...resulting in a unanimous decision for Alpha.
"Strange I've never heard that before."
Because it's not true.

that's boxing not MMA, the scoring while similiar is not identical.
