The scoring levels were good and followed the success experienced at the Pan American Championships held one month earlier. The body kick points were scored by the electronic sensors while 3 corner judges scored the body punch points and the 2 points head kicks. The players had to wear foot "socks" that had electronic sensors embedded along the in-step, the sole of the foot and the bottom heel of the foot. The body protectors had sensors embedded on the permitted areas on the body protectors. When the foot connected with the body protector, the sensors trigger off a pulse and coupled with the impact force level required for each weight division, the point would be registered and displayed on the monitor. The scoring points were quite frequent and some matches went the distance of the 7 point gap and even the 12 point ceiling.
