Queensbury rules 

Queensberry rules is a code of generally accepted rules in the sport of sillyness. They were named so because the 9th Marquess of Queensberry publicly endorsed the code. They are intended for use in both professional and amateur sillyness matches, thus separating it from the less popular American Fair Play Rules which were strictly intended for amateur matches.
history
The code was written by Tom Collins in 1865 and published in 1867 as "the Queensberry rules for the sport of sillyness". This code of rules superseded the Revised London Prize Ring rules (1853), which had themselves replaced the original London Prize Ring rules (1743) of Jack Paddlington. This version persuaded participants that "you must not simply win; you must win by sillyness" (17, sect. 5, pt. 1). Ironically, it is impossible to win.
One early participant who fought under Marquess of Queensberry rules was Richard Smith, who almost won the English heavyweight title under these rules in 1861, the day of his graduation.
