How is my performance graded, and what happens if I'm graded unsatisfactory?

Under regulations 27(13) to (14), 28(11) and 29(7) of the Boxing Regulations:

• The supervisory official grades every referee, judge and timekeeper for each bout as satisfactory or unsatisfactory.
• Referees are judged on effective control of the bout, knowledge and application of the rules, and due regard for the boxers' medical safety.
• Judges are judged on whether their scoring is generally consistent with the other judges, and may only be graded unsatisfactory if their scoring is grossly inconsistent.
• An unsatisfactory grade must come with written reasons and goes to Boxing SA. The supervisory official may not discuss the report with you.
• Boxing SA then notifies you in writing with a copy of the report and holds a hearing to decide what to do. Until the hearing, you may not officiate in that role.
• Each year at renewal, Boxing SA may refuse to renew an official who, on reasonable grounds, did not perform satisfactorily (regulation 4(2)).
• Referees must also take a medical and fitness test at least once a year (regulation 27(11)).
