Also known as “point fighting” : Semi-Contact returned to the 1979

speed and technique to score points rather than by excessive force -

Light-Contact made its first appearance at a W.A.K.O. world
championships, having made its debut at the Europeans two years
previously. More physical than Semi-Contact but less so than
Full-Contact, points were awarded and fights won on the basis of speed
and technique over power, and it was seen as a transition stage for
fighters who were considering a move from Semi to Full-Contact
