Each round is scored by giving the round winner 10 points and the loser 9 or fewer. The KBN referee app offers the six scores judges use in practice, plus knockdown and foul counters per corner.

Round scores

10–7Two knockdowns or a completely one-sided round
10–10Genuinely even; used sparingly

Scores are queued on the judge's device and synced when online, each with a unique identifier so a retry can never double-count a round. The live centre polls every three seconds, so a submitted round is visible to fans within one poll.
