My scoring system isn't useless. I'll go through each of the 8 3-round scoring possibilities to explain. Actually, I only need to go round 4 of the 8 possibilities, since they're symmetrical depending on whether Red or Blue won (so RRR = BBB for scoring purposes).Your scoring system is useless, if one of the fighter didn't crush the other one, the judge review the whole fight.
Just review the whole fight, you'll get the same result.
RRR or BBB
In the current system, this would be scored anywhere from 30-30 to 30-24. Normally it'll be 30-27 or 30-36. Either way (aside from that extremely rare 30-30 score), the winner of the fight is clear. My system is the same as the current system, so yeah, it doesn't add anything for fights where a fighter won every round.
RRB or BBR
This score means one fighter won 2 rounds, both of which were the most dominant of the fight. So, they clearly won the fight. In the current system, this would be scored anywhere from 30-30 to 28-26. Normally it'll be 29-28 or 29-27. Like in the above paragraph, either way (aside from that extremely rare 30-30 score), the winner of the fight is clear. My system is the same as the current system, so again, it doesn't add anything.
RBR or BRB
This score means one fighter had the most dominant round, PLUS he won another round. So again, they clearly won the fight. In the current system, this would have similar scores to the above paragraph. 30-30 to 28-26 are possible, but 29-28 or even 29-27 is likely. Again, it doesn't add anything.
RBB or BRR
This is where my system adds something. This is what it's for. One fighter had a strong round, the other fighter had two less strong rounds. Which should be weighed more? Judges' discretion decides. In the current system, 29-28 and 28-28 are the most likely scores. 29-28 would mean the dominant round hasn't been given any credit for being better than the 2 weaker rounds. 28-28 would give the dominant round 10-8 and thus is giving it credit, but the obvious problem is that there's no winner. My idea solves these problems.
