ROAD FC Announces New Scoring System

ROAD is dumping the 10 point must and have developed their own point scoring system.

"In this system, points will be awarded for specific action and activity. One point will be given for a clear strike, takedown, near submission, full mount or back mount position, clear control on the ground, and aggression. Five points will be awarded for a knock down.
Penalties will be assessed by the referee. A yellow card for fouls will incur a five point deduction. A blue card worth a two point deduction will be introduced for the purpose of eliminating stalling and avoidance, standing and on the ground.

All points will be accumulated through the entire fight, not round by round, therefore a performance throughout the entire bout will determine the clear winner. The “Unlimited Points System” will be in operation starting at he next event, ROAD FC 027 in China on 26 December."

Adding concrete values to the different criterias is interesting though I'm not so sure I agree with some of the point values they assigned. Hopefully it's just the bare bones and not all clean strikes are scored the same. Should be interesting to see how it plays out.
