Rajadamnern Stadium Enhances Muay Thai Transparency with New Scoring Rules
Starting November 1, Rajadamnern Stadium will implement real-time score disclosures and judge identification for all matches to improve transparency.
According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, Rajadamnern Stadium is set to elevate the standards of Muay Thai by introducing new transparency measures. Effective Sunday, November 1, the venue will begin disclosing scores after every round and publicly identifying the judges for every match. This policy applies to all five major event series hosted at the stadium, including RWS, Rajadamnern Knockout (RKO), Petchyindee Premium, Muay Thai Palangmai, and Tor Namthai Kiatpetch. These regulations will be enforced seven days a week, covering both three-round and five-round formats, ensuring a unified standard across all competitions. For residents and visitors interested in Muay Thai, these changes represent a significant shift toward greater accountability in professional combat sports. By providing spectators with immediate insight into how bouts are being scored and who is officiating, the stadium aims to foster increased trust in the integrity of the sport. While these rules are confirmed for the specified events at Rajadamnern, it remains to be seen how other stadiums across Thailand might respond or if this will become a broader industry standard. Fans attending matches should look for these updates on official scoreboards or event broadcasts starting in November.
