Accidental Head Butt Rule

Wotan · 04-28-2004, 01:56 AM

I believe I have discovered a mistake in the scoring of a fight that has to be stoped because of a accidental head butt. TBCB only uses the score cards through the last "complete" round. Actually the rule calls for the round the fight was stopped in to be scored and used in calculating the winner. In the fight I had that caused me to write this note, the winner of this fight would probably have been different.
I really enjoy the game. I hope this can be fixed.

Taken from http://www.secondsout.com/Legends/en...cs=240&cs=8483 :

IBF/USBA: If a fighter is accidentally fouled and the fight cannot continue or if the fighter does continue and subsequently that cut becomes severe enough to stop the fight, then the fighter who is ahead on points will be the winner if the sixth round has ended. If the sixth round has been completed, the winner will be determined by going to the scorecards. Only rounds completed will be scored.
WBC: If the fight does not continue and the cut worsens in a later round from legal blows and the fight is then stopped, the winner will be the boxer who is ahead on points at the time the bout is stopped. The round in which the bout is stopped will be scored.

So we have to introduce another option to the rules section obviously to handle both cases...

Thanks for the answer Andraes. I didn't know about the IBF/USBA rule. Been listening to too much Harold Lederman. Hope the option shows up soon.
