Decisions in combat sports

In combat sports, a decision is a result of the fight or bout that does not end in a knockout, submission or other finish, in which the (usually) three judges' scorecards are consulted to determine the winner; a majority of judges must agree on a result. The judges' result can either award a win, loss, or draw.

If no judges are in attendance for scoring and the fight reaches the time limit with no finish, the fight goes to no decision.
