Matched Bouts
For club shows or local tournaments (not official Junior Olympic tournaments), different age categories may be established, e.g. 12-13 year-olds, 14-15 year-olds. For matched bouts at the local level, crossover ages may be used provided that a 24-month maximum age difference (based on actual date of birth) is maintained. Exceptions: An 8 year-old may not compete against a boxer older than 9, and a 16 year-old may not compete against a boxer older than 17. Length of rounds: at the lower age category.
Rounds for crossover of age divisions. When contests involve a crossover of age divisions, the length of the rounds will be that for the younger-aged athlete; for example, for a bout with a 12-year-old boxer (one-minute rounds) vs. a 13-year-old boxer (one-and-one-half minute rounds), use one-minute rounds.
