=== Tournament rules === In 1996, the [[Myanmar Traditional Lethwei Federation]] created the tournament ruleset for the inaugural Golden Belt Championship tournament.<ref name="Rules" /> The two-minute injury timeout was removed and judges were added ringside to determine a winner in the event there was no knockout. This modified ruleset prevents the outcome of a draw and helped choose a winner to advance in the tournament. Myanmar's first international promotion, the [[World Lethwei Championship]], opted for this ruleset in order to follow international safety regulations and have clear winners.<ref name="Golden belt" /> '''Judging criteria''' The knockout is still highly desired under this ruleset, but in the event that a bout goes the distance, judges will present a decision. The 3 judges should score the bout based on: * aggression * damage * amount of blood drawn * number of significant strikes per round Fighters have a maximum of 3 knockdowns per round and 4 knockdowns in the entire fight before the fight is ruled a knockout.
