# Split and majority decisions

`GET /v1/scorecards/splits`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.ufcalendar.com`
- URL: `https://api.ufcalendar.com/v1/scorecards/splits`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Completed bouts the judges decided on a split or majority (including majority and split draws), newest first, across the launch promotions or one of them, optionally in a date range. Each row is the bout (same shape as `/v1/fights/{id}`) plus its `event`, the `decision_type`, `official_winner_fighter_id` (`null` on a draw), every judge's card (`cards`, same objects as `/v1/fights/{id}/scorecards`) and `dissenting_judges` — the cards that disagree with the official result (`judge_id`, `judge_name`, `total_a`, `total_b`, `winner_fighter_id`, `is_draw`, `scores_known`). A card with no readable verdict is not counted as a dissent; an outcome-only card (`scores_known: false`) is, flagged. Commission records only — facts as filed, no verdict of our own; sources that publish no decision type are not listed. Up to 50 rows a page.

## Query parameters

- `org` 'ufc' | 'pfl' | 'oktagon' | 'bkfc' | 'rizin'
- `from` string, date
- `to` string, date
- `cursor` string
- `limit` integer

      - `is_draw` boolean, required

      - `has_more` boolean, required
    - `note` string, required
