Method and system for contesting and determining the victor of a combat sport

A method of calculating a final value (Ms) of a scoring action using a data collection and display system in a combat sport wherein said final value is based on at least one of impact intensity and energy associated with a strike delivered by a combatant in a combat match or game mode between at least two opponents (or combatants), said method comprising:

• i. providing a trunk protector that is worn by the combatants and wherein said protector comprises at least one impact and/or energy sensor and at least one microprocessor, said microprocessor collecting and analyzing data from said at least one impact and/or energy sensor and using determined scoring actions corresponding to combatant actions, said trunk protector further comprising a display connected to said processor for displaying information selected from the group consisting of data collected and analyzed by said microprocessor, combatant status, combatant score, combatant health, match time, match number and combination thereof;
• ii. said microprocessor determining an individual raw magnitude of every scoring action mi;
• iii. said microprocessor assigning a distance value, determined by the distance from the opponent at which a scoring attack was executed, to a Dzi constant
• iv. said microprocessor assigning a placement value, determined by a scoring impact zone 1 on the combatants, to a Pli constant;
• v. said microprocessor assigning an independent combination bonus multiplier value to C1 constant;
• vi. said microprocessor assigning a magnitude, inclusive or exclusive of any modifying variable, per preference, of any desired scoring action A1 constant;
• vii. said microprocessor assigning a magnitude, inclusive or exclusive of any modifying variable, per preference, of any desired scoring action to A2 constant;
• viii. said microprocessor assigning a time-dependent combination bonus modifier to C2 constant;
• ix. said microprocessor determining the amount of time elapsed between nay scoring action and a previous scoring action ti;
• x. said microprocessor assigning a value, of a threshold of elapsed time between scoring actions eligible for application for combination scoring augmentation to Tn constant;
• and
• xi. said microprocessor evaluating for Ms and attributing to the relevant combatant to affect status of the match or game mode by using the following relationship:
