PNW NEWSLETTER

1.       A REMINDER TO ALL – NO DAY-OF-BOUT REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

SEVERAL UNREGISTERED BOXERS  APPEARED AT THE 20 FEB BUMBLE BEE SHOW

AND DID NOT COMPETE. COACHES CAN PREVENT THESE INCIDENTS BY MAKING

ATHLETES REGISTER ON THEIR FIRST DAY IN THE GYM. OTHER LBC’S HAVE HAD

TROUBLE WITH UNREGISTERED ATHLETES BEING INJURED IN THE GYM AND NOT

HAVING ANY INSURANCE. DON’T OPEN YOURSELF UP TO PAYING MEDICAL

BILLS – REGISTER ON DAY ONE!

2.      SCORECARDS – EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, THE PNW ASSN WILL ADHERE TO USA

RULE 107.9(2) – COACHES MAY VIEW SCORECARDS AFTER THE BOXING SESSION

HAS BEEN COMPLETED. THIS WILL ELIMINATE INTERRUPTIONS BETWEEN BOUTS

AND SMOOTH THE PROGRESS OF THE SHOW.

3.      AGE DETERMINATION – PER USA RULE 101.7, THE AGE DETERMINATION DATE

OF 1 AUG IS USED ONLY FOR NATIONAL TOURNAMENTS AND RELATED QUALIFY-

ING EVENTS. CLUB SHOWS AND NON-ADVANCING TOURNAMENTS WILL USE THE

ACTUAL BIRTHDATES TO DETERMINE AGE. THIS RULE CAME INTO PLAY AT THE

20 FEB SEATTLE SHOW AND CANCELLED ONE BOUT.

4.      TACOMA  JR. GLOVES – 80 BOUTS WERE CONTESTED OVER TWO DAYS. AFTER

REVIEWING 62 DECISIONS, I DETERMINED THAT THE FOLLOWING SCORECARD

WAS THE BEST:

23 JAN 10 EVENING SESSION BOUT # 22

RED CORNER                BLUE CORNER               JUDGE

         31                                  23                            PEREZ

         30                                  25                            SIMPSON

         29                                  24                            BRYANT

CONSIDERING THAT THESE SCORES CAME FROM THREE DIFFERENT VIEWPOINTS,

THIS JUDGING PERFORMANCE CAN ONLY BE RATED AS SUPERIOR. KUDOS TO

THE JUDGES INVOLVED.
