How The Rajadamnern World Series Works

• Weight divisions: RWS Muay Thai events typically feature various weight divisions, such as Featherweight, Female Bantamweight, Super Lightweight, Welterweight, and Super Welterweight.
• Group stage: In each weight division, eight fighters, typically four from Thailand and four from other countries, are split into two groups and compete against each other in a round-robin format of three rounds each.
• Tournament format: In the semifinals, the top two fighters from each group advance to the next stage of the tournament with five-round bouts.
• Championship: In a spectacular showdown, the remaining fighters in each division compete for the championship belt and title in five-round bouts.
• Open scoring: The judges' scores are flashed after each round. The open scoring system allows spectators to follow the action and understand the scoring after each round.
