Information about Open Scoring system

Note that these rules will be valid from the next World Cup in Italy 6-8 June 2008 .

We will print a new Rulebook later on containing all rules, regulations, statutes etc but will wait until the anti-doping rules are revised according to the newly adopted World Anti-Doping Code. Remember to kick doping out of Kickboxing. Download the latest prohibited list from http://www.wada-ama.org/en/prohibitedlist.ch2
