WBA

The 10-Point Must System is the standard scoring system for all WBA bouts. Under this system: The winner of each round receives 10 points; The loser of each round receives 9 points or fewer; An even round is scored 10-10 (though even rounds should be rare)

If an accidental foul causes injury severe enough to stop the bout before four (4) completed rounds, the bout is ruled a No Decision. If the bout is stopped after four (4) completed rounds, a Technical Decision is awarded to the boxer ahead on the scorecards.

The WBA cooperates with VADA (Voluntary Anti-Doping Association) and other testing bodies to combat performance-enhancing drug use in boxing. Boxers in WBA championship bouts may be subject to random drug testing before and after the fight.

Boxers must wear approved boxing trunks. Trunks must not extend below the knee.

WBA championship bouts are scheduled for twelve (12) rounds. Non-championship bouts may be scheduled for four (4) to twelve (12) rounds as determined by the applicable commission and promoter.

When boxers clinch, the referee will call "break" and the boxers must step back before resuming action. Hitting on the break is a foul.

Each corner must be equipped with a water bucket, a spit bucket, a stool, and towels. Corners are designated as red (typically the champion's corner) and blue.

Each boxer is permitted a maximum of four (4) seconds (cornermen) in their corner between rounds. Only one chief second is permitted to enter the ring between rounds.
