Open Scoring in Centurion FC!
Centurion FC announces a groundbreaking change in how fights will be judged. Starting from CFC22, we will implement the Open Scoring system, where judges’ scores will be revealed to fighters, corners, fans and everyone watching, after each round. This initiative responds to longstanding demands from our community and aims to bring greater transparency and fairness to the sport. Here’s everything you need to know about Open Scoring and how it will impact future Centurion FC events.
What is Open Scoring?
Open Scoring is a revolutionary concept in MMA that ensures transparency in judging. Unlike traditional scoring methods, where judges’ scores are kept secret until the end of the fight, Open Scoring displays these scores after each round. This system allows fighters, their corners, and viewers to know exactly how the fight is being judged in real-time.
Why Implement Open Scoring?
The demand for Open Scoring has been growing among fans and fighters alike. Many have voiced concerns about the uncertainty and perceived inconsistencies in fight scoring. With Open Scoring, fighters will no longer be in the dark until the fight ends and there’s nothing else they can do.
Instead, they can now adjust their strategies based on their current scores, leading to more dynamic and well-informed fights. Here are some of the key benefits:
- Transparency:
- Judges’ scores are revealed after each round, ensuring that everyone knows the score as the fight progresses.
- Strategic Adjustments:
- Fighters and their corners can modify their game plans based on real-time scoring, leading to more tactical and exciting fights.
- Accountability:
- Judges are under greater scrutiny, knowing their scores are visible after each round, which can lead to more accurate and fair scoring.
- Enhanced Fan Engagement:
- Fans gain a deeper understanding of the fight dynamics and scoring process, increasing their engagement and enjoyment of the event.
How Open Scoring Works
Score Display:
After each round, the judges’ scores are calculated and displayed on screens in the arena and broadcast to viewers at home.
Fighter Awareness:
Fighters and their corners receive immediate feedback on their performance, knowing whether they are ahead or need to adjust their strategy to catch up.
Round-by-Round Transparency:
This ongoing feedback loop continues for the duration of the fight, with scores updated after every round until the final decision.
The Impact on Fighters and Fans
Open Scoring empowers fighters with crucial information about their performance. They will know exactly whether they need to be more aggressive or defensive in the following rounds. This transparency allows for real-time tactical decisions, making the sport more competitive and fair.
For fans, Open Scoring provides a clearer picture of how each fight is progressing. Knowing the real scores during the fight brings an additional layer of understanding and entertainment to the viewing experience.
Remember those MMA watch parties at some friend’s place where heated debates break out over who’s winning, only to wait until the end of the fight to prove your point? With Open Scoring, you’ll have real-time answers and settle those arguments instantly! On a serious note though, this new concept is expected to be a game-changer and we can’t wait to implement it for the first time ever at CFC22
